Properties

BlockDeviceMappings

The block device mapping.

Required: No

Type: List of BlockDeviceMapping

Update requires: No interruption

CapacityReservationSpecification

The Capacity Reservation targeting option. If you do not specify this parameter, the instance's Capacity Reservation preference defaults to open, which enables it to run in any open Capacity Reservation that has matching attributes (instance type, platform, Availability Zone).

Required: No

Type: CapacityReservationSpecification

Update requires: No interruption

CpuOptions

The CPU options for the instance. For more information, see Optimizing CPU Options in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Required: No

Type: CpuOptions

Update requires: No interruption

CreditSpecification

The credit option for CPU usage of the instance. Valid for T2, T3, or T3a instances only.

Required: No

Type: CreditSpecification

Update requires: No interruption

DisableApiTermination

If you set this parameter to true, you can't terminate the instance using the Amazon EC2 console, CLI, or API; otherwise, you can. To change this attribute after launch, use ModifyInstanceAttribute. Alternatively, if you set InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior to terminate, you can terminate the instance by running the shutdown command from the instance.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

EbsOptimized

Indicates whether the instance is optimized for Amazon EBS I/O. This optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal Amazon EBS I/O performance. This optimization isn't available with all instance types. Additional usage charges apply when using an EBS-optimized instance.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

ElasticGpuSpecifications

An elastic GPU to associate with the instance.

Required: No

Type: List of ElasticGpuSpecification

Update requires: No interruption

ElasticInferenceAccelerators

The elastic inference accelerator for the instance.

Required: No

Type: List of LaunchTemplateElasticInferenceAccelerator

Update requires: No interruption

EnclaveOptions

Indicates whether the instance is enabled for AWS Nitro Enclaves. For more information, see What is AWS Nitro Enclaves? in the AWS Nitro Enclaves User Guide.

You can't enable AWS Nitro Enclaves and hibernation on the same instance.

Required: No

Type: EnclaveOptions

Update requires: No interruption

HibernationOptions

Indicates whether an instance is enabled for hibernation. This parameter is valid only if the instance meets the hibernation prerequisites. For more information, see Hibernate Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Required: No

Type: HibernationOptions

Update requires: No interruption

IamInstanceProfile

The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM instance profile.

Required: No

Type: IamInstanceProfile

Update requires: No interruption

ImageId

The ID of the AMI.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior

Indicates whether an instance stops or terminates when you initiate shutdown from the instance (using the operating system command for system shutdown).

Default: stop

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: stop | terminate

Update requires: No interruption

InstanceMarketOptions

The market (purchasing) option for the instances.

Required: No

Type: InstanceMarketOptions

Update requires: No interruption

InstanceType

The instance type. For more information, see Instance Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

KernelId

The ID of the kernel.

We recommend that you use PV-GRUB instead of kernels and RAM disks. For more information, see User Provided Kernels in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

KeyName

The name of the key pair. You can create a key pair using CreateKeyPair or ImportKeyPair.

Important

If you do not specify a key pair, you can't connect to the instance unless you choose an AMI that is configured to allow users another way to log in.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

LicenseSpecifications

The license configurations.

Required: No

Type: List of LicenseSpecification

Placement

The placement for the instance.

Required: No

Type: Placement

Update requires: No interruption

SecurityGroupIds

One or more security group IDs. You can create a security group using CreateSecurityGroup. You cannot specify both a security group ID and security name in the same request.

Required: No

Type: List of String

Update requires: No interruption
