No
--kernel Kernel ID associated with the image No
--ramdisk Ramdisk ID associated with the image No
--root-device-name name Root device name (for example, /dev/sda1, or xvda) No
-b,--block-device-mapping 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
-s,--snapshot snapshot EBS snapshot ID to use as the root device No
--virtualization-type type The virtualization type for the new image.

Valid values: paravirtual | hvm

Note: You should always explicitly declare the instance type of a bundle created with euca-bundle-instance as an HVM type using --virtualization-type parameter.
No
--platform windows [Privileged] Indicates that the new image is a Windows image. No
