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
Specifies whether the destination AMI of the imported image should be encrypted. The default KMS key for EBS is used unless you specify a non-default KMS key using KmsKeyId . For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
string
The target hypervisor platform.
Valid values: xen
string
An identifier for the symmetric KMS key to use when creating the encrypted AMI. This parameter is only required if you want to use a non-default KMS key; if this parameter is not specified, the default KMS key for EBS is used. If a KmsKeyId is specified, the Encrypted flag must also be set.
The KMS key identifier may be provided in any of the following formats:
Key ID
Key alias. The alias ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace, followed by the Region of the key, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the key owner, the alias namespace, and then the key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :alias/ExampleAlias .
ARN using key ID. The ID ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace, followed by the Region of the key, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the key owner, the key namespace, and then the key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :key/abcd1234-a123-456a-a12b-a123b4cd56ef .
ARN using key alias. The alias ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace, followed by the Region of the key, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the key owner, the alias namespace, and then the key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :alias/ExampleAlias .
Amazon Web Services parses KmsKeyId asynchronously, meaning that the action you call may appear to complete even though you provided an invalid identifier. This action will eventually report failure.
The specified KMS key must exist in the Region that the AMI is being copied to.
Amazon EBS does not support asymmetric KMS keys.
string
The license type to be used for the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) after importing.
By default, we detect the source-system operating system (OS) and apply the appropriate license. Specify AWS to replace the source-system license with an Amazon Web Services license, if appropriate. Specify BYOL to retain the source-system license, if appropriate.
To use BYOL , you must have existing licenses with rights to use these licenses in a third party cloud, such as Amazon Web Services. For more information, see Prerequisites in the VM Import/Export User Guide.
string
The operating system of the virtual machine.
Valid values: Windows | Linux
string
The name of the role to use when not using the default role, 'vmimport'.
list
The ARNs of the license configurations.
(dict) --
The request information of license configurations.
LicenseConfigurationArn (string) --
The ARN of a license configuration.
list
The tags to apply to the import image task during creation.
(dict) --
The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created.
ResourceType (string) --
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 | instance-event-window | 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 Amazon Web Services PrivateLink) | vpc-flow-log | vpn-connection | vpn-gateway .
To tag a resource after it has been created, see CreateTags .
Tags (list) --
The tags to apply to the resource.
(dict) --
Describes a tag.
Key (string) --
The key of the tag.
Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .
