Import single or multi-volume disk images or EBS snapshots into an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). For more information, see Importing a VM as an Image Using VM Import/Export in the VM Import/Export User Guide.
ec2_import_image(Architecture, ClientData, ClientToken, Description,
DiskContainers, DryRun, Encrypted, Hypervisor, KmsKeyId, LicenseType,
Platform, RoleName)The architecture of the virtual machine.
Valid values: i386 \| x86_64
The client-specific data.
The token to enable idempotency for VM import requests.
A description string for the import image task.
Information about the disk containers.
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.
Specifies whether the destination AMI of the imported image should be
encrypted. The default CMK for EBS is used unless you specify a
non-default AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) CMK using KmsKeyId.
For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption
in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
The target hypervisor platform.
Valid values: xen
An identifier for the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer
master key (CMK) to use when creating the encrypted AMI. This parameter
is only required if you want to use a non-default CMK; if this parameter
is not specified, the default CMK for EBS is used. If a KmsKeyId is
specified, the Encrypted flag must also be set.
The CMK identifier may be provided in any of the following formats:
Key ID
Key alias, in the form alias/<i>ExampleAlias</i>
ARN using key ID. The ID ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace,
followed by the region of the CMK, the AWS account ID of the CMK
owner, the key namespace, and then the CMK ID. For example,
arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/abcd1234-a123-456a-a12b-a123b4cd56ef.
ARN using key alias. The alias ARN contains the arn:aws:kms
namespace, followed by the region of the CMK, the AWS account ID of
the CMK owner, the alias namespace, and then the CMK alias. For
example,
arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.
AWS parses KmsKeyId asynchronously, meaning that the action you call
may appear to complete even though you provided an invalid identifier.
This action will eventually report failure.
The specified CMK must exist in the region that the AMI is being copied to.
The license type to be used for the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) after importing.
Note: You may only use BYOL if you have existing licenses with rights to use these licenses in a third party cloud like AWS. For more information, see Prerequisites in the VM Import/Export User Guide.
Valid values include:
Auto - Detects the source-system operating system (OS) and applies
the appropriate license.
AWS - Replaces the source-system license with an AWS license, if
appropriate.
BYOL - Retains the source-system license, if appropriate.
Default value: Auto
The operating system of the virtual machine.
Valid values: Windows \| Linux
The name of the role to use when not using the default role, 'vmimport'.
