如何使用 AWS Cli 中的标签从现有 ec2 创建 AMI？

Question

I'm trying to create a new Ami from my existing ec2 instance with tags. I tried the following command and it doesn't work.

aws ec2 create-image --instance-id i-xxxxxxxxxxxxx --name "TEST_AMI" --no-reboot --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=instance,Tags=[{Key=name,Value=TEST_AMI}

and its return following error.

usage: aws [options] [...] [parameters] To see help text, you can run: aws help aws help aws help Unknown options: --tag-specifications, ResourceType=instance,Tags=[{Key=name,Value=TEST_AMI}]

I just need to do both tasks in one command.

Answer 1

The value for the ResourceType is invalid. From create-image documentation :

The tags to apply to the AMI and snapshots on creation. You can tag the AMI, the snapshots, or both.

• To tag the AMI, the value for ResourceType must be image .
• To tag the snapshots that are created of the root volume and of other Amazon EBS volumes that are attached to the instance, the value for ResourceType must be snapshot . The same tag is applied to all of the snapshots that are created.
