We are excited to announce our new API Documentation.
Protected
Optional
automaticThe number of minutes until the running instance is shut down after the environment has last been used.
Optional
clientA unique, case-sensitive string that helps Cloud9 to ensure this operation completes no more than one time.
For more information, see Client Tokens in the Amazon EC2 API Reference.
Optional
connectionThe connection type used for connecting to an Amazon EC2 environment. Valid values are
CONNECT_SSH
(default) and CONNECT_SSM
(connected through
Amazon EC2 Systems Manager).
For more information, see Accessing no-ingress EC2 instances with Amazon EC2 Systems Manager in the Cloud9 User Guide.
Optional
descriptionThe description of the environment to create.
Optional
dryChecks 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
.
Optional
imageThe identifier for the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that's used to create the EC2 instance. To choose an AMI for the instance, you must specify a valid AMI alias or a valid Amazon EC2 Systems Manager (SSM) path.
The default Amazon Linux AMI is currently used if the parameter isn't explicitly assigned a value in the request. Because Amazon Linux AMI has ended standard support as of December 31, 2020, we recommend you choose Amazon Linux 2, which includes long term support through 2023.
From December 31, 2023, the parameter for Amazon Linux will no longer be available when you specify an AMI for your instance. Amazon Linux 2 will then become the default AMI, which is used to launch your instance if no parameter is explicitly defined.
Since Ubuntu 18.04 has ended standard support as of May 31, 2023, we recommend you choose Ubuntu 22.04.
