create-store-image-task¶

Description¶

Stores an AMI as a single object in an Amazon S3 bucket.

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

For more information, see Store and restore an AMI using Amazon S3 in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

Synopsis¶

  create-store-image-task
--image-id <value>
--bucket <value>
[--s3-object-tags <value>]
[--dry-run | --no-dry-run]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--image-id (string)

The ID of the AMI.

--bucket (string)

The name of the Amazon S3 bucket in which the AMI object will be stored. The bucket must be in the Region in which the request is being made. The AMI object appears in the bucket only after the upload task has completed.

--s3-object-tags (list)

The tags to apply to the AMI object that will be stored in the Amazon S3 bucket.

(structure)

The tags to apply to the AMI object that will be stored in the Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, see Categorizing your storage using tags in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide .

Key -> (string)

The key of the tag.

Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and can be up to 128 Unicode characters in length. May not begin with aws :.

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and can be up to 256 Unicode characters in length.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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 store an AMI in an S3 bucket

The following create-store-image-task example stores an AMI in an S3 bucket. Specify the ID of the AMI and the name of the S3 bucket in which to store the AMI.

aws ec2 create-store-image-task \
  --image-id ami-1234567890abcdef0 \
  --bucket my-ami-bucket

Output:

{
    "ObjectKey": "ami-1234567890abcdef0.bin"
}
