Option Description Required
instance_id The instance ID to use to create the EMI. Yes

-d,--description description The description of the new image. No
--no-reboot Indicates that the instance should not be shut down before creating the image.

-b,--block-device-mapping Block device mapping for the instance. This is passed in the form of <devicename>=<blockdevice>, where: devicename is the device name of the physical device on the instance to map and blockdevice is one of the following values:
  • none: Use this value to suppress existing mapping on the specified image for this device. For example: /dev/sdc=none
  • ephemeral[0..3]: Use this value to indicate that an instance local storage device should be mapped to this device. For example: /dev/sdc=ephemeral0
  • [snapshot-id]:[size]:[delete-on-termination (true|false)]: Use this value to map a device to an existing EBS-backed volume, and to specify whether the EBS volume should be deleted on termination. This value defaults to true.

    To specify a new EBS-backed volume, skip the snapshot ID and pass in a volume size instead. For example: /dev/sdb=:20.

No
