get-image¶

Description¶

Gets an image.

Synopsis¶

  get-image
--image-build-version-arn <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--image-build-version-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the image that you want to retrieve.

--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 get image details

The following get-image example lists the details of an image by specifying its ARN.

aws imagebuilder get-image \
    --image-build-version-arn arn:aws:imagebuilder:us-west-2:123456789012:image/mybasicrecipe/2019.12.03/1

Output¶

requestId -> (string)

The request ID that uniquely identifies this request.

image -> (structure)

The image object.

arn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the image.

Note

Semantic versioning is included in each object’s Amazon Resource Name (ARN), at the level that applies to that object as follows:

Versionless ARNs and Name ARNs do not include specific values in any of the nodes. The nodes are either left off entirely, or they are specified as wildcards, for example: x.x.x.

Version ARNs have only the first three nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>

Build version ARNs have all four nodes, and point to a specific build for a specific version of an object.

type -> (string)

Specifies whether this is an AMI or container image.

name -> (string)

The name of the image.

version -> (string)

The semantic version of the image.

Note

The semantic version has four nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>/<build>. You can assign values for the first three, and can filter on all of them.

Assignment: For the first three nodes you can assign any positive integer value, including zero, with an upper limit of 2^30-1, or 1073741823 for each node. Image Builder automatically assigns the build number to the fourth node.

Patterns: You can use any numeric pattern that adheres to the assignment requirements for the nodes that you can assign. For example, you might choose a software version pattern, such as 1.0.0, or a date, such as 2021.01.01.

Filtering: With semantic versioning, you have the flexibility to use wildcards (x) to specify the most recent versions or nodes when selecting the base image or components for your recipe. When you use a wildcard in any node, all nodes to the right of the first wildcard must also be wildcards.

platform -> (string)

enhancedImageMetadataEnabled -> (boolean)

Collects additional information about the image being created, including the operating system (OS) version and package list. This information is used to enhance the overall experience of using EC2 Image Builder. Enabled by default.

workingDirectory -> (string)

The working directory to be used during build and test workflows.

additionalInstanceConfiguration -> (structure)

Before you create a new AMI, Image Builder launches temporary Amazon EC2 instances to build and test your image configuration. Instance configuration adds a layer of control over those instances. You can define settings and add scripts to run when an instance is launched from your AMI.

systemsManagerAgent -> (structure)

Contains settings for the Systems Manager agent on your build instance.

uninstallAfterBuild -> (boolean)

Controls whether the Systems Manager agent is removed from your final build image, prior to creating the new AMI. If this is set to true, then the agent is removed from the final image. If it’s set to false, then the agent is left in, so that it is included in the new AMI. The default value is false.

userDataOverride -> (string)

Use this property to provide commands or a command script to run when you launch your build instance.

The userDataOverride property replaces any commands that Image Builder might have added to ensure that Systems Manager is installed on your Linux build instance. If you override the user data, make sure that you add commands to install Systems Manager, if it is not pre-installed on your base image.

Note

The user data is always base 64 encoded. For example, the following commands are encoded as IyEvYmluL2Jhc2gKbWtkaXIgLXAgL3Zhci9iYi8KdG91Y2ggL3Zhci$ :

#!/bin/bash

Note

Semantic versioning is included in each object’s Amazon Resource Name (ARN), at the level that applies to that object as follows:

Versionless ARNs and Name ARNs do not include specific values in any of the nodes. The nodes are either left off entirely, or they are specified as wildcards, for example: x.x.x.

Version ARNs have only the first three nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>

Build version ARNs have all four nodes, and point to a specific build for a specific version of an object.

Note

The semantic version has four nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>/<build>. You can assign values for the first three, and can filter on all of them.

Assignment: For the first three nodes you can assign any positive integer value, including zero, with an upper limit of 2^30-1, or 1073741823 for each node. Image Builder automatically assigns the build number to the fourth node.

Patterns: You can use any numeric pattern that adheres to the assignment requirements for the nodes that you can assign. For example, you might choose a software version pattern, such as 1.0.0, or a date, such as 2021.01.01.

Filtering: With semantic versioning, you have the flexibility to use wildcards (x) to specify the most recent versions or nodes when selecting the base image or components for your recipe. When you use a wildcard in any node, all nodes to the right of the first wildcard must also be wildcards.
