Describes the specified images (AMIs, AKIs, and ARIs) available to you or all of the images available to you.
The images available to you include public images, private images that you own, and private images owned by other Amazon Web Services accounts for which you have explicit launch permissions.
Recently deregistered images appear in the returned results for a short interval and then return empty results. After all instances that reference a deregistered AMI are terminated, specifying the ID of the image will eventually return an error indicating that the AMI ID cannot be found.
The order of the elements in the response, including those within nested structures, might vary. Applications should not assume the elements appear in a particular order.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DescribeImagesAsync.
