Description

Modifies the specified attribute of the specified AMI. You can specify only one attribute at a time. To specify the attribute, you can use the Attribute parameter, or one of the following parameters: Description, ImdsSupport, or LaunchPermission. Images with an Amazon Web Services Marketplace product code cannot be made public. To enable the SriovNetSupport enhanced networking attribute of an image, enable SriovNetSupport on an instance and create an AMI from the instance.

Parameters

-Attribute <String>
The name of the attribute to modify.Valid values: description | imdsSupport | launchPermission
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonEC2Config>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.EC2.AmazonEC2ClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Description <String>
A new description for the AMI.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-DryRun <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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ImageId <String>
The ID of the AMI.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ImdsSupport <String>
Set to v2.0 to indicate that IMDSv2 is specified in the AMI. Instances launched from this AMI will have HttpTokens automatically set to required so that, by default, the instance requires that IMDSv2 is used when requesting instance metadata. In addition, HttpPutResponseHopLimit is set to 2. For more information, see Configure the AMI in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.Do not use this parameter unless your AMI software supports IMDSv2. After you set the value to v2.0, you can't undo it. The only way to “reset” your AMI is to create a new AMI from the underlying snapshot.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-LaunchPermission_Add <LaunchPermission[]>
The Amazon Web Services account ID, organization ARN, or OU ARN to add to the list of launch permissions for the AMI. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-LaunchPermission_Remove <LaunchPermission[]>
The Amazon Web Services account ID, organization ARN, or OU ARN to remove from the list of launch permissions for the AMI. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-OperationType <OperationType>
The operation type. This parameter can be used only when the Attribute parameter is launchPermission.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-OrganizationalUnitArn <String[]>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an organizational unit (OU). This parameter can be used only when the Attribute parameter is launchPermission. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null.

To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False

-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage.

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
