2018/11/28 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 7 updated api methods
Changes Adds the following updates: 1. You can now hibernate and resume Amazon-EBS backed instances using the StopInstances and StartInstances APIs. For more information about using this feature and supported instance types and operating systems, visit the user guide. 2. Amazon Elastic Inference accelerators are resources that you can attach to current generation EC2 instances to accelerate your deep learning inference workloads. With Amazon Elastic Inference, you can configure the right amount of inference acceleration to your deep learning application without being constrained by fixed hardware configurations and limited GPU selection. 3. AWS License Manager makes it easier to manage licenses in AWS and on premises when customers run applications using existing licenses from a variety of software vendors including Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, and IBM.
{'LaunchTemplateData': {'ElasticInferenceAccelerators': [{'Type': 'string'}],
'HibernationOptions': {'Configured': 'boolean'},
'LicenseSpecifications': [{'LicenseConfigurationArn': 'string'}]}}
Creates a launch template. A launch template contains the parameters to launch an instance. When you launch an instance using RunInstances , you can specify a launch template instead of providing the launch parameters in the request.

Describes one or more of your instances.
If you specify one or more instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns information for those instances. If you do not specify instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns information for all relevant instances. If you specify an instance ID that is not valid, an error is returned. If you specify an instance that you do not own, it is not included in the returned results.
Recently terminated instances might appear in the returned results. This interval is usually less than one hour.
If you describe instances in the rare case where an Availability Zone is experiencing a service disruption and you specify instance IDs that are in the affected zone, or do not specify any instance IDs at all, the call fails. If you describe instances and specify only instance IDs that are in an unaffected zone, the call works normally.

Launches the specified number of instances using an AMI for which you have permissions.
You can specify a number of options, or leave the default options. The following rules apply:
[EC2-VPC] If you don't specify a subnet ID, we choose a default subnet from your default VPC for you. If you don't have a default VPC, you must specify a subnet ID in the request.
[EC2-Classic] If don't specify an Availability Zone, we choose one for you.
Some instance types must be launched into a VPC. If you do not have a default VPC, or if you do not specify a subnet ID, the request fails. For more information, see Instance Types Available Only in a VPC .
[EC2-VPC] All instances have a network interface with a primary private IPv4 address. If you don't specify this address, we choose one from the IPv4 range of your subnet.
Not all instance types support IPv6 addresses. For more information, see Instance Types .
If you don't specify a security group ID, we use the default security group. For more information, see Security Groups .
If any of the AMIs have a product code attached for which the user has not subscribed, the request fails.
You can create a launch template , which is a resource that contains the parameters to launch an instance. When you launch an instance using RunInstances , you can specify the launch template instead of specifying the launch parameters.
To ensure faster instance launches, break up large requests into smaller batches. For example, create five separate launch requests for 100 instances each instead of one launch request for 500 instances.
An instance is ready for you to use when it's in the running state. You can check the state of your instance using DescribeInstances . You can tag instances and EBS volumes during launch, after launch, or both. For more information, see CreateTags and Tagging Your Amazon EC2 Resources .
Linux instances have access to the public key of the key pair at boot. You can use this key to provide secure access to the instance. Amazon EC2 public images use this feature to provide secure access without passwords. For more information, see Key Pairs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
For troubleshooting, see What To Do If An Instance Immediately Terminates , and Troubleshooting Connecting to Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

list
One or more block device mapping entries. You can't specify both a snapshot ID and an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation. If a snapshot is the basis for a volume, it is not blank and its encryption status is used for the volume encryption status.
(dict) --
Describes a block device mapping.
DeviceName (string) --
The device name (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh ).
VirtualName (string) --
The virtual device name (ephemeral N). Instance store volumes are numbered starting from 0. An instance type with 2 available instance store volumes can specify mappings for ephemeral0 and ephemeral1 . The number of available instance store volumes depends on the instance type. After you connect to the instance, you must mount the volume.
NVMe instance store volumes are automatically enumerated and assigned a device name. Including them in your block device mapping has no effect.
Constraints: For M3 instances, you must specify instance store volumes in the block device mapping for the instance. When you launch an M3 instance, we ignore any instance store volumes specified in the block device mapping for the AMI.
Ebs (dict) --
Parameters used to automatically set up EBS volumes when the instance is launched.
DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --
Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.
Iops (integer) --
The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1 , this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 , this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Constraints: Range is 100-10,000 IOPS for gp2 volumes and 100 to 64,000IOPS for io1 volumes in most regions. Maximum io1 IOPS of 64,000 is guaranteed only on Nitro-based instances . Other instance families guarantee performance up to 32,000 IOPS. For more information, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.
SnapshotId (string) --
The ID of the snapshot.
VolumeSize (integer) --
The size of the volume, in GiB.
Constraints: 1-16384 for General Purpose SSD (gp2 ), 4-16384 for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 ), 500-16384 for Throughput Optimized HDD (st1 ), 500-16384 for Cold HDD (sc1 ), and 1-1024 for Magnetic (standard ) volumes. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.
Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.
VolumeType (string) --
The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .
Default: standard
Encrypted (boolean) --
Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption.
If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you cannot specify an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation. If you are creating a snapshot from an existing EBS volume, you cannot specify an encryption value that differs from that of the EBS volume. We recommend that you omit the encryption value from the block device mappings when creating an image from an instance.
KmsKeyId (string) --
Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a user-managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.
This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances , RequestSpotFleet , and RequestSpotInstances .
NoDevice (string) --
Suppresses the specified device included in the block device mapping of the AMI.
string
The ID of the AMI, which you can get by calling DescribeImages . An AMI is required to launch an instance and must be specified here or in a launch template.
string
The instance type. For more information, see Instance Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Default: m1.small

{'Hibernate': 'boolean'}
Stops an Amazon EBS-backed instance.
You can use the Stop action to hibernate an instance if the instance is enabled for hibernation and it meets the hibernation prerequisites . For more information, see Hibernate Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
We don't charge usage for a stopped instance, or data transfer fees; however, your root partition Amazon EBS volume remains and continues to persist your data, and you are charged for Amazon EBS volume usage. Every time you start your Windows instance, Amazon EC2 charges you for a full instance hour. If you stop and restart your Windows instance, a new instance hour begins and Amazon EC2 charges you for another full instance hour even if you are still within the same 60-minute period when it was stopped. Every time you start your Linux instance, Amazon EC2 charges a one-minute minimum for instance usage, and thereafter charges per second for instance usage.
You can't start, stop, or hibernate Spot Instances, and you can't stop or hibernate instance store-backed instances. For information about using hibernation for Spot Instances, see Hibernating Interrupted Spot Instances in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
When you stop or hibernate an instance, we shut it down. You can restart your instance at any time. Before stopping or hibernating an instance, make sure it is in a state from which it can be restarted. Stopping an instance does not preserve data stored in RAM, but hibernating an instance does preserve data stored in RAM. If an instance cannot hibernate successfully, a normal shutdown occurs.
Stopping and hibernating an instance is different to rebooting or terminating it. For example, when you stop or hibernate an instance, the root device and any other devices attached to the instance persist. When you terminate an instance, the root device and any other devices attached during the instance launch are automatically deleted. For more information about the differences between rebooting, stopping, hibernating, and terminating instances, see Instance Lifecycle in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
When you stop an instance, we attempt to shut it down forcibly after a short while. If your instance appears stuck in the stopping state after a period of time, there may be an issue with the underlying host computer. For more information, see Troubleshooting Stopping Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

boolean
Hibernates the instance if the instance was enabled for hibernation at launch. If the instance cannot hibernate successfully, a normal shutdown occurs. For more information, see Hibernate Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Default: false
boolean
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
boolean
Forces the instances to stop. The instances do not have an opportunity to flush file system caches or file system metadata. If you use this option, you must perform file system check and repair procedures. This option is not recommended for Windows instances.
Default: false
