Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

2021/04/06 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 3 new api methods

Changes  This release adds support for storing EBS-backed AMIs in S3 and restoring them from S3 to enable cross-partition copying of AMIs

CreateRestoreImageTask (new) Link ¶

Starts a task that restores an AMI from an S3 object that was previously created by using CreateStoreImageTask .

To use this API, you must have the required permissions. For more information, see Permissions for storing and restoring AMIs using S3 in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

      The type of resource to tag. Currently, the resource types that support tagging on creation are: capacity-reservation | carrier-gateway | client-vpn-endpoint | customer-gateway | dedicated-host | dhcp-options | egress-only-internet-gateway | elastic-ip | elastic-gpu | export-image-task | export-instance-task | fleet | fpga-image | host-reservation | image | import-image-task | import-snapshot-task | instance | internet-gateway | ipv4pool-ec2 | ipv6pool-ec2 | key-pair | launch-template | local-gateway-route-table-vpc-association | placement-group | prefix-list | natgateway | network-acl | network-interface | reserved-instances |route-table | security-group | snapshot | spot-fleet-request | spot-instances-request | snapshot | subnet | traffic-mirror-filter | traffic-mirror-session | traffic-mirror-target | transit-gateway | transit-gateway-attachment | transit-gateway-multicast-domain | transit-gateway-route-table | volume |vpc | vpc-peering-connection | vpc-endpoint (for interface and gateway endpoints) | vpc-endpoint-service (for AWS PrivateLink) | vpc-flow-log | vpn-connection | vpn-gateway .

        • Value (string) --

          The value of the tag.

          Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 255 Unicode characters.

type DryRun

boolean

param DryRun

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 .

rtype

dict

returns

Response Syntax

{
    'ImageId': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • ImageId (string) --

      The AMI ID.

DescribeStoreImageTasks (new) Link ¶

Describes the progress of the AMI store tasks. You can describe the store tasks for specified AMIs. If you don't specify the AMIs, you get a paginated list of store tasks from the last 31 days.

For each AMI task, the response indicates if the task is InProgress , Completed , or Failed . For tasks InProgress , the response shows the estimated progress as a percentage.

Tasks are listed in reverse chronological order. Currently, only tasks from the past 31 days can be viewed.

To use this API, you must have the required permissions. For more information, see Permissions for storing and restoring AMIs using S3 in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
