Class CreateImageRequest

    • Method Detail

      • hasBlockDeviceMappings

        public final boolean hasBlockDeviceMappings()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the BlockDeviceMappings property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • blockDeviceMappings

        public final List<BlockDeviceMapping> blockDeviceMappings()

        The block device mappings.

        When using the CreateImage action:

        • You can't change the volume size using the VolumeSize parameter. If you want a different volume size, you must first change the volume size of the source instance.

        • You can't modify the encryption status of existing volumes or snapshots. To create an AMI with volumes or snapshots that have a different encryption status (for example, where the source volume and snapshots are unencrypted, and you want to create an AMI with encrypted volumes or snapshots), use the CopyImage action.

        • The only option that can be changed for existing mappings or snapshots is DeleteOnTermination.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasBlockDeviceMappings() method.

        Returns:
        The block device mappings.

      • description

        public final String description()

        A description for the new image.

        Returns:
        A description for the new image.
      • dryRun

        public final Boolean dryRun()

        Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

        Returns:

      • instanceId

        public final String instanceId()

        The ID of the instance.

        Returns:
        The ID of the instance.
      • name

        public final String name()

        A name for the new image.

        Constraints: 3-128 alphanumeric characters, parentheses (()), square brackets ([]), spaces ( ), periods (.), slashes (/), dashes (-), single quotes ('), at-signs (@), or underscores(_)

        Returns:
        A name for the new image.

      • noReboot

        public final Boolean noReboot()

        Indicates whether or not the instance should be automatically rebooted before creating the image. Specify one of the following values:

        • true - The instance is not rebooted before creating the image. This creates crash-consistent snapshots that include only the data that has been written to the volumes at the time the snapshots are created. Buffered data and data in memory that has not yet been written to the volumes is not included in the snapshots.

        • false - The instance is rebooted before creating the image. This ensures that all buffered data and data in memory is written to the volumes before the snapshots are created.

        Default: false

        Returns:

      • hasTagSpecifications

        public final boolean hasTagSpecifications()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the TagSpecifications property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • tagSpecifications

        public final List<TagSpecification> tagSpecifications()

        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.

        If you specify other values for ResourceType, the request fails.

        To tag an AMI or snapshot after it has been created, see CreateTags.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasTagSpecifications() method.

      • toString

        public final String toString()
        Returns a string representation of this object. This is useful for testing and debugging. Sensitive data will be redacted from this string using a placeholder value.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
