Creates one or more Amazon Lightsail virtual private servers, or instances. Create instances using active blueprints. Inactive blueprints are listed to support customers with existing instances but are not necessarily available for launch of new instances. Blueprints are marked inactive when they become outdated due to operating system updates or new application releases. Use the get blueprints operation to return a list of available blueprints.
lightsail_create_instances(instanceNames, availabilityZone,
customImageName, blueprintId, bundleId, userData, keyPairName, tags)[required] The names to use for your new Lightsail instances. Separate multiple
values using quotation marks and commas, for example:
\["MyFirstInstance","MySecondInstance"\]
[required] The Availability Zone in which to create your instance. Use the
following format: us-east-2a (case sensitive). You can get a list of
Availability Zones by using the get regions
operation. Be sure to add the include Availability Zones parameter to
your request.
(Deprecated) The name for your custom image.
In releases prior to June 12, 2017, this parameter was ignored by the API. It is now deprecated.
[required] The ID for a virtual private server image (e.g., app_wordpress_4_4 or
app_lamp_7_0). Use the get blueprints operation to return a list of
available images (or blueprints).
[required] The bundle of specification information for your virtual private server
(or instance), including the pricing plan (e.g., micro_1_0).
A launch script you can create that configures a server with additional
user data. For example, you might want to run apt-get -y update.
Depending on the machine image you choose, the command to get software
on your instance varies. Amazon Linux and CentOS use yum, Debian and
Ubuntu use apt-get, and FreeBSD uses pkg. For a complete list, see
the Dev Guide.
The name of your key pair.
The tag keys and optional values to add to the resource during create.
To tag a resource after it has been created, see the tag resource
operation.
