create-launch-template-version

Description

Creates a new version of a launch template. You must specify an existing launch template, either by name or ID. You can determine whether the new version inherits parameters from a source version, and add or overwrite parameters as needed.

Launch template versions are numbered in the order in which they are created. You can’t specify, change, or replace the numbering of launch template versions.

Launch templates are immutable; after you create a launch template, you can’t modify it. Instead, you can create a new version of the launch template that includes the changes that you require.

For more information, see Modify a launch template (manage launch template versions) in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

(string)

MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice -> (integer)

[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage of an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from the lowest priced current generation instance types, and failing that, from the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 selects instance types with your attributes, it will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.

The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 interprets as a percentage.

If you set TargetCapacityUnitType to vcpu or memory-mib , the price protection threshold is based on the per vCPU or per memory price instead of the per instance price.

Note

Only one of SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice or MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice can be specified. If you don’t specify either, Amazon EC2 will automatically apply optimal price protection to consistently select from a wide range of instance types. To indicate no price protection threshold for Spot Instances, meaning you want to consider all instance types that match your attributes, include one of these parameters and specify a high value, such as 999999 .

BaselinePerformanceFactors -> (structure)

The baseline performance to consider, using an instance family as a baseline reference. The instance family establishes the lowest acceptable level of performance. Amazon EC2 uses this baseline to guide instance type selection, but there is no guarantee that the selected instance types will always exceed the baseline for every application. Currently, this parameter only supports CPU performance as a baseline performance factor. For more information, see Performance protection in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Cpu -> (structure)

The CPU performance to consider, using an instance family as the baseline reference.

References -> (list)

Specify an instance family to use as the baseline reference for CPU performance. All instance types that match your specified attributes will be compared against the CPU performance of the referenced instance family, regardless of CPU manufacturer or architecture differences.

Note

Currently, only one instance family can be specified in the list.

(structure)

Specify an instance family to use as the baseline reference for CPU performance. All instance types that match your specified attributes will be compared against the CPU performance of the referenced instance family, regardless of CPU manufacturer or architecture.

Note

Currently, only one instance family can be specified in the list.

InstanceFamily -> (string)

The instance family to use as a baseline reference.

Note

Ensure that you specify the correct value for the instance family. The instance family is everything before the period (. ) in the instance type name. For example, in the instance type c6i.large , the instance family is c6i , not c6 . For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance type naming conventions in Amazon EC2 Instance Types .

The following instance families are not supported for performance protection:

• c1
• g3 | g3s
• hpc7g
• m1 | m2
• mac1 | mac2 | mac2-m1ultra | mac2-m2 | mac2-m2pro
• p3dn | p4d | p5
• t1
• u-12tb1 | u-18tb1 | u-24tb1 | u-3tb1 | u-6tb1 | u-9tb1 | u7i-12tb | u7in-16tb | u7in-24tb | u7in-32tb

If you enable performance protection by specifying a supported instance family, the returned instance types will exclude the above unsupported instance families.

If you specify an unsupported instance family as a value for baseline performance, the API returns an empty response for and an exception for , , , and .

PrivateDnsNameOptions -> (structure)

The options for the instance hostname. The default values are inherited from the subnet.

HostnameType -> (string)

The type of hostname for Amazon EC2 instances. For IPv4 only subnets, an instance DNS name must be based on the instance IPv4 address. For IPv6 native subnets, an instance DNS name must be based on the instance ID. For dual-stack subnets, you can specify whether DNS names use the instance IPv4 address or the instance ID.

EnableResourceNameDnsARecord -> (boolean)

Indicates whether to respond to DNS queries for instance hostnames with DNS A records.

EnableResourceNameDnsAAAARecord -> (boolean)

Indicates whether to respond to DNS queries for instance hostnames with DNS AAAA records.

MaintenanceOptions -> (structure)

The maintenance options for the instance.

AutoRecovery -> (string)

Disables the automatic recovery behavior of your instance or sets it to default. For more information, see Simplified automatic recovery .

DisableApiStop -> (boolean)

Indicates whether to enable the instance for stop protection. For more information, see Enable stop protection for your instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Operator -> (structure)

The entity that manages the launch template.

Principal -> (string)

The entity that manages the resource.

--resolve-alias | --no-resolve-alias (boolean)

If true , and if a Systems Manager parameter is specified for ImageId , the AMI ID is displayed in the response for imageID . For more information, see Use a Systems Manager parameter instead of an AMI ID in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Default: false

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json
• text
• table
• yaml
• yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on
• off
• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

• base64
• raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input 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.

When Amazon EC2 selects instance types with your attributes, it will exclude instance types whose Spot price exceeds your specified threshold.

The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 interprets as a percentage.

If you set TargetCapacityUnitType to vcpu or memory-mib , the price protection threshold is applied based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per-instance price.

This parameter is not supported for GetSpotPlacementScores and GetInstanceTypesFromInstanceRequirements .

Note

Only one of SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice or MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice can be specified. If you don’t specify either, Amazon EC2 will automatically apply optimal price protection to consistently select from a wide range of instance types. To indicate no price protection threshold for Spot Instances, meaning you want to consider all instance types that match your attributes, include one of these parameters and specify a high value, such as 999999 .

Default: 100

When Amazon EC2 selects instance types with your attributes, it will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.

The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 interprets as a percentage.

To turn off price protection, specify a high value, such as 999999 .

This parameter is not supported for GetSpotPlacementScores and GetInstanceTypesFromInstanceRequirements .

Note

If you set TargetCapacityUnitType to vcpu or memory-mib , the price protection threshold is applied based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per-instance price.
