Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--instance-names <list> | The names to use for your new Lightsail instances. Separate multiple values using quotation marks and commas, for example: ["MyFirstInstance","MySecondInstance"] |
--availability-zone <string> | 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 |
--custom-image-name <string> | (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 |
--blueprint-id <string> | 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). Use active blueprints when creating new instances. Inactive blueprints are listed to support customers with existing instances and are not necessarily available to create new instances. Blueprints are marked inactive when they become outdated due to operating system updates or new application releases |
--bundle-id <string> | The bundle of specification information for your virtual private server (or instance), including the pricing plan (e.g., micro_1_0) |
--user-data <string> | 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 |
--key-pair-name <string> | The name of your key pair |
--tags <list> | The tag keys and optional values to add to the resource during create. Use the TagResource action to tag a resource after it's created |
--add-ons <list> | An array of objects representing the add-ons to enable for the new instance |
--ip-address-type <string> | The IP address type for the instance. The possible values are ipv4 for IPv4 only, and dualstack for IPv4 and IPv6. The default value is dualstack |
--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 |
