--kernel-id <string> | The ID of the kernel associated with the AMI |
--ramdisk-id <string> | The ID of the RAM disk to select |
--block-device-mappings <list> | A block device mapping, which specifies the block devices for the instance. You can specify virtual devices and EBS volumes. For more information, see Block Device Mapping in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances |
--instance-monitoring <structure> | Controls whether instances in this group are launched with detailed (true) or basic (false) monitoring. The default value is true (enabled). When detailed monitoring is enabled, Amazon CloudWatch generates metrics every minute and your account is charged a fee. When you disable detailed monitoring, CloudWatch generates metrics every 5 minutes. For more information, see Configure Monitoring for Auto Scaling Instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide |
--spot-price <string> | The maximum hourly price to be paid for any Spot Instance launched to fulfill the request. Spot Instances are launched when the price you specify exceeds the current Spot price. For more information, see Requesting Spot Instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide. When you change your maximum price by creating a new launch configuration, running instances will continue to run as long as the maximum price for those running instances is higher than the current Spot price |
--iam-instance-profile <string> | The name or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the instance profile associated with the IAM role for the instance. The instance profile contains the IAM role. For more information, see IAM role for applications that run on Amazon EC2 instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide |
--ebs-optimized | Specifies whether the launch configuration is optimized for EBS I/O (true) or not (false). The optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal I/O performance. This optimization is not available with all instance types. Additional fees are incurred when you enable EBS optimization for an instance type that is not EBS-optimized by default. For more information, see Amazon EBS-Optimized Instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances. The default value is false |
--no-ebs-optimized | Specifies whether the launch configuration is optimized for EBS I/O (true) or not (false). The optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal I/O performance. This optimization is not available with all instance types. Additional fees are incurred when you enable EBS optimization for an instance type that is not EBS-optimized by default. For more information, see Amazon EBS-Optimized Instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances. The default value is false |
--associate-public-ip-address | For Auto Scaling groups that are running in a virtual private cloud (VPC), specifies whether to assign a public IP address to the group's instances. If you specify true, each instance in the Auto Scaling group receives a unique public IP address. For more information, see Launching Auto Scaling instances in a VPC in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide. If you specify this parameter, you must specify at least one subnet for VPCZoneIdentifier when you create your group. If the instance is launched into a default subnet, the default is to assign a public IP address, unless you disabled the option to assign a public IP address on the subnet. If the instance is launched into a nondefault subnet, the default is not to assign a public IP address, unless you enabled the option to assign a public IP address on the subnet |
--no-associate-public-ip-address | For Auto Scaling groups that are running in a virtual private cloud (VPC), specifies whether to assign a public IP address to the group's instances. If you specify true, each instance in the Auto Scaling group receives a unique public IP address. For more information, see Launching Auto Scaling instances in a VPC in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide. If you specify this parameter, you must specify at least one subnet for VPCZoneIdentifier when you create your group. If the instance is launched into a default subnet, the default is to assign a public IP address, unless you disabled the option to assign a public IP address on the subnet. If the instance is launched into a nondefault subnet, the default is not to assign a public IP address, unless you enabled the option to assign a public IP address on the subnet |
--placement-tenancy <string> | The tenancy of the instance. An instance with dedicated tenancy runs on isolated, single-tenant hardware and can only be launched into a VPC. To launch dedicated instances into a shared tenancy VPC (a VPC with the instance placement tenancy attribute set to default), you must set the value of this parameter to dedicated. If you specify PlacementTenancy, you must specify at least one subnet for VPCZoneIdentifier when you create your group. For more information, see Configuring instance tenancy with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide. Valid Values: default | dedicated |
--metadata-options <structure> | The metadata options for the instances. For more information, see Configuring the Instance Metadata Options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
