Synopsis¶

  create-restore-image-task
--bucket <value>
--object-key <value>
[--name <value>]
[--tag-specifications <value>]
[--dry-run | --no-dry-run]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]

Options¶

--bucket (string)

The name of the Amazon S3 bucket that contains the stored AMI object.

--object-key (string)

The name of the stored AMI object in the bucket.

--name (string)

The name for the restored AMI. The name must be unique for AMIs in the Region for this account. If you do not provide a name, the new AMI gets the same name as the original AMI.

--tag-specifications (list)

The tags to apply to the AMI and snapshots on restoration. You can tag the AMI, the snapshots, or both.

To tag the AMI, the value for ResourceType must be image .

To tag the snapshots, the value for ResourceType must be snapshot . The same tag is applied to all of the snapshots that are created.

(structure)

The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created.

ResourceType -> (string)

The type of resource to tag on creation.

Tags -> (list)

The tags to apply to the resource.

(structure)

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: .

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

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

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (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 .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To restore an AMI from an S3 bucket

The following create-restore-image-task example restores an AMI from an S3 bucket. Use the values for S3ObjectKey `` and ``Bucket from the describe-store-image-tasks output, specify the object key of the AMI and the name of the S3 bucket to which the AMI was copied, and specify the name for the restored AMI. The name must be unique for AMIs in the Region for this account. The restored AMI will receive a new AMI ID.

aws ec2 create-restore-image-task \
    --object-key ami-1234567890abcdef0.bin \
    --bucket my-ami-bucket \
    --name "New AMI Name"

Output:

{
    "ImageId": "ami-0eab20fe36f83e1a8"
}

For more information about storing and restoring an AMI using S3, see Store and restore an AMI using S3 <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ami-store-restore.html> in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Output¶

ImageId -> (string)

The AMI ID.
