DescribeImagesRequest

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

One or more filters.

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

• 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 for the EBS volume (for example, /dev/sdh).

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

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

• block-device-mapping.volume-type - The volume type of the EBS volume (gp2 | standard | io1).

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

• 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 AWS account alias (for example, amazon).

• owner-id - The AWS account ID of the image owner.

• 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 (devpay | marketplace).

• ramdisk-id - The RAM disk ID.

• root-device-name - The 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.

• tag:key=value - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource.

• tag-key - The key of a tag assigned to the resource. This filter is independent of the tag-value filter. For example, if you use both the filter "tag-key=Purpose" and the filter "tag-value=X", you get any resources assigned both the tag key Purpose (regardless of what the tag's value is), and the tag value X (regardless of what the tag's key is). If you want to list only resources where Purpose is X, see the tag:key=value filter.

• tag-value - The value of a tag assigned to the resource. This filter is independent of the tag-key filter.

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

One or more image IDs.

Default: Describes all images available to you.

Filters the images by the owner. Specify an AWS account ID, amazon (owner is Amazon), aws-marketplace (owner is AWS Marketplace), self (owner is the sender of the request). Omitting this option returns all images for which you have launch permissions, regardless of ownership.
