2017/09/13 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 12 updated api methods
Changes You are now able to create and launch EC2 x1e.32xlarge instance, a new EC2 instance in the X1 family, in us-east-1, us-west-2, eu-west-1, and ap-northeast-1. x1e.32xlarge offers 128 vCPUs, 3,904 GiB of DDR4 instance memory, high memory bandwidth, large L3 caches, and leading reliability capabilities to boost the performance and reliability of in-memory applications.
{'Reservations': {'Instances': {'InstanceType': ['x1e.32xlarge']}}}
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.

state - The state of the Reserved Instance (payment-pending | active | payment-failed | retired ).
tag :key =*value* - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource. Specify the key of the tag in the filter name and the value of the tag in the filter value. For example, for the tag Purpose=X, specify tag:Purpose for the filter name and X for the filter value.
tag-key - The key of a tag assigned to the resource. This filter is independent of the tag-value filter. For example, if you use both the filter "tag-key=Purpose" and the filter "tag-value=X", you get any resources assigned both the tag key Purpose (regardless of what the tag's value is), and the tag value X (regardless of what the tag's key is). If you want to list only resources where Purpose is X, see the tag :key =*value* filter.
tag-value - The value of a tag assigned to the resource. This filter is independent of the tag-key filter.
usage-price - The usage price of the Reserved Instance, per hour (for example, 0.84).

Response {'ReservedInstancesOfferings': {'InstanceType': ['x1e.32xlarge']}}
Describes Reserved Instance offerings that are available for purchase. With Reserved Instances, you purchase the right to launch instances for a period of time. During that time period, you do not receive insufficient capacity errors, and you pay a lower usage rate than the rate charged for On-Demand instances for the actual time used.
If you have listed your own Reserved Instances for sale in the Reserved Instance Marketplace, they will be excluded from these results. This is to ensure that you do not purchase your own Reserved Instances.

{'SpotInstanceRequests': {'LaunchSpecification': {'InstanceType': ['x1e.32xlarge']}}}
Describes the Spot instance requests that belong to your account. Spot instances are instances that Amazon EC2 launches when the bid price that you specify exceeds the current Spot price. Amazon EC2 periodically sets the Spot price based on available Spot instance capacity and current Spot instance requests. For more information, see Spot Instance Requests in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
You can use DescribeSpotInstanceRequests to find a running Spot instance by examining the response. If the status of the Spot instance is fulfilled , the instance ID appears in the response and contains the identifier of the instance. Alternatively, you can use DescribeInstances with a filter to look for instances where the instance lifecycle is spot .
Spot instance requests are deleted 4 hours after they are canceled and their instances are terminated.

{'SpotFleetRequestConfig': {'LaunchSpecifications': {'InstanceType': ['x1e.32xlarge']}}}
Creates a Spot fleet request.
You can submit a single request that includes multiple launch specifications that vary by instance type, AMI, Availability Zone, or subnet.
By default, the Spot fleet requests Spot instances in the Spot pool where the price per unit is the lowest. Each launch specification can include its own instance weighting that reflects the value of the instance type to your application workload.
Alternatively, you can specify that the Spot fleet distribute the target capacity across the Spot pools included in its launch specifications. By ensuring that the Spot instances in your Spot fleet are in different Spot pools, you can improve the availability of your fleet.
For more information, see Spot Fleet Requests in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

string
The user-specified name for a logical grouping of bids.
When you specify an Availability Zone group in a Spot Instance request, all Spot instances in the request are launched in the same Availability Zone. Instance proximity is maintained with this parameter, but the choice of Availability Zone is not. The group applies only to bids for Spot Instances of the same instance type. Any additional Spot instance requests that are specified with the same Availability Zone group name are launched in that same Availability Zone, as long as at least one instance from the group is still active.
If there is no active instance running in the Availability Zone group that you specify for a new Spot instance request (all instances are terminated, the bid is expired, or the bid falls below current market), then Amazon EC2 launches the instance in any Availability Zone where the constraint can be met. Consequently, the subsequent set of Spot instances could be placed in a different zone from the original request, even if you specified the same Availability Zone group.
Default: Instances are launched in any available Availability Zone.
integer
The required duration for the Spot instances (also known as Spot blocks), in minutes. This value must be a multiple of 60 (60, 120, 180, 240, 300, or 360).
The duration period starts as soon as your Spot instance receives its instance ID. At the end of the duration period, Amazon EC2 marks the Spot instance for termination and provides a Spot instance termination notice, which gives the instance a two-minute warning before it terminates.
Note that you can't specify an Availability Zone group or a launch group if you specify a duration.
string
Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to Ensure Idempotency in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
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 .
integer
The maximum number of Spot instances to launch.

{'InstanceType': ['x1e.32xlarge']}
Response {'Instances': {'InstanceType': ['x1e.32xlarge']}}
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.
To ensure faster instance launches, break up large requests into smaller batches. For example, create 5 separate launch requests for 100 instances each instead of 1 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 .
