image-exists¶

Description¶

Wait until JMESPath query length(Images[]) > 0 returns True when polling with describe-images. It will poll every 15 seconds until a successful state has been reached. This will exit with a return code of 255 after 40 failed checks.

Options¶

--executable-users (list)

Scopes the images by users with explicit launch permissions. Specify an Amazon Web Services account ID, self (the sender of the request), or all (public AMIs).

If you specify an Amazon Web Services account ID that is not your own, only AMIs shared with that specific Amazon Web Services account ID are returned. However, AMIs that are shared with the account’s organization or organizational unit (OU) are not returned.

If you specify self or your own Amazon Web Services account ID, AMIs shared with your account are returned. In addition, AMIs that are shared with the organization or OU of which you are member are also returned.

If you specify all , all public AMIs are returned.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--filters (list)

The filters.

architecture - The image architecture (i386 | x86_64 | arm64 ).

block-device-mapping.delete-on-termination - A Boolean value that indicates whether the Amazon EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

block-device-mapping.device-name - The device name specified in the block device mapping (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh ).

block-device-mapping.snapshot-id - The ID of the snapshot used for the Amazon EBS volume.

block-device-mapping.volume-size - The volume size of the Amazon EBS volume, in GiB.

block-device-mapping.volume-type - The volume type of the Amazon EBS volume (io1 | io2 | gp2 | gp3 | sc1 | st1 | standard ).

block-device-mapping.encrypted - A Boolean that indicates whether the Amazon EBS volume is encrypted.

creation-date - The time when the image was created, in the ISO 8601 format in the UTC time zone (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ), for example, 2021-09-29T11:04:43.305Z . You can use a wildcard (* ), for example, 2021-09-29T* , which matches an entire day.

description - The description of the image (provided during image creation).

ena-support - A Boolean that indicates whether enhanced networking with ENA is enabled.

hypervisor - The hypervisor type (ovm | xen ).

image-id - The ID of the image.

image-type - The image type (machine | kernel | ramdisk ).

is-public - A Boolean that indicates whether the image is public.

kernel-id - The kernel ID.

manifest-location - The location of the image manifest.

name - The name of the AMI (provided during image creation).

owner-alias - The owner alias (amazon | aws-marketplace ). The valid aliases are defined in an Amazon-maintained list. This is not the Amazon Web Services account alias that can be set using the IAM console. We recommend that you use the Owner request parameter instead of this filter.

owner-id - The Amazon Web Services account ID of the owner. We recommend that you use the Owner request parameter instead of this filter.

platform - The platform. To only list Windows-based AMIs, use windows .

product-code - The product code.

product-code.type - The type of the product code (marketplace ).

ramdisk-id - The RAM disk ID.

root-device-name - The device name of the root device volume (for example, /dev/sda1 ).

root-device-type - The type of the root device volume (ebs | instance-store ).

state - The state of the image (available | pending | failed ).

state-reason-code - The reason code for the state change.

state-reason-message - The message for the state change.

sriov-net-support - A value of simple indicates that enhanced networking with the Intel 82599 VF interface is enabled.

tag :<key> - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. For example, to find all resources that have a tag with the key Owner and the value TeamA , specify tag:Owner for the filter name and TeamA for the filter value.

tag-key - The key of a tag assigned to the resource. Use this filter to find all resources assigned a tag with a specific key, regardless of the tag value.

virtualization-type - The virtualization type (paravirtual | hvm ).

(structure)

A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.

If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an AND , and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.

Name -> (string)

The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

Values -> (list)

The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive. If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an OR , and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--image-ids (list)

The image IDs.

Default: Describes all images available to you.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--owners (list)

Scopes the results to images with the specified owners. You can specify a combination of Amazon Web Services account IDs, self , amazon , and aws-marketplace . If you omit this parameter, the results include all images for which you have launch permissions, regardless of ownership.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--include-deprecated | --no-include-deprecated (boolean)

If true , all deprecated AMIs are included in the response. If false , no deprecated AMIs are included in the response. If no value is specified, the default value is false .

Note

If you are the AMI owner, all deprecated AMIs appear in the response regardless of the value (true or false ) that you set for this parameter.

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To wait until an image exists

The following wait image-exists example pauses and resumes running only after it confirms that the specified Amazon Machine Image exists. It produces no output.

aws ec2 wait image-exists \
    --image-ids ami-0abcdef1234567890
