Defined in:
lib/aws/ec2/image_collection.rb

Overview

Represents a collection of EC2 images. You can use this to find out which images exist with the characteristics you are interested in:

ec2 = EC2.new
all_images = ec2.images
amazon_owned_images = all_images.with_owner('amazon')
my_images = all_images.with_owner('self')
tagged_amis = all_images.tagged('mytag')
tagged_amis.map(&:id)   # => ["ami-123", ...]

You can also use it to create new images. For example:

ec2.images.create(:instance_id => "i-123",
                  :name => "my-image")

#[](image_id) ⇒ Image

Returns image_id The ID of the image.

Returns:

  • (Image) —

    image_id The ID of the image.

#create(options = {}) ⇒ Image

Creates an AMI. There are several ways to create an AMI using this method; for detailed information on each strategy see the EC2 Developer Guide.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Options for creating the image. :name is required, and you must also specify one of the following options:

    • :instance_id

    • :image_location

    • :root_device_name

Options Hash (options):

  • :instance_id (String) —

    The ID of a running instance. This instance will be rebooted unless :no_reboot is set to true.

  • :description (String) —

    A description of the new image.

  • :no_reboot (Boolean) —

    By default this option is set to false, which means Amazon EC2 attempts to cleanly shut down the instance before image creation and reboots the instance afterwards. When the option is set to true, Amazon EC2 does not shut down the instance before creating the image. When this option is used, file system integrity on the created image cannot be guaranteed.

    Note: This option is only valid when used with :instance_id.

  • :image_location (String) —

    Full path to your AMI manifest in Amazon S3 storage. This must be of the form “bucket_name/key”.

  • :architecture (String) —

    The architecture of the image. Valid values:

    • :i386

    • :x86_64

    Note: This option is only valid with :image_location or :root_device_name

  • :kernel_id (String) —

    The ID of the kernel to select.

    Note: This option is only valid with :image_location or :root_device_name

  • :kernel (Image) —

    The kernel image to use. Equivalent to passing :kernel_id with the ID of the image.

    Note: This option is only valid with :image_location or :root_device_name

  • :ramdisk_id (String) —

    The ID of the RAM disk to select. Some kernels require additional drivers at launch. Check the kernel requirements for information on whether you need to specify a RAM disk. To find kernel requirements, refer to the Resource Center and search for the kernel ID.

    Note: This option is only valid with :image_location or :root_device_name

  • :ramdisk (Image) —

    The ramdisk image to use. Equivalent to passing :ramdisk_id with the ID of the image.

    Note: This option is only valid with :image_location or :root_device_name

  • :root_device_name (String) —

    The root device name (e.g., /dev/sda1, or xvda).

  • :block_device_mappings (Hash) —

    This must be a hash; the keys are device names to map, and the value for each entry determines how that device is mapped. Valid values include:

    • A string, which is interpreted as a virtual device name.

    • A hash with any of the following options. One of :snapshot, :snapshot_id or :volume_size is required.

      :snapshot

      A snapshot to use when creating the block device.

      :snapshot_id

      The ID of a snapshot to use when creating the block device.

      :volume_size

      The size of volume to create, in gigabytes.

      :delete_on_termination

      Setting this to true causes EC2 to delete the volume when the instance is terminated.

Returns:

#executable_by(*users) ⇒ ImageCollection

Returns A new collection that only includes images for which the specified user ID has explicit launch permissions. The user ID can be an AWS account ID, :self to return AMIs for which the sender of the request has explicit launch permissions, or :all to return AMIs with public launch permissions.

Parameters:

  • users (Array of Strings) —

    The AWS account IDs by which the new collection should be filtered.

Returns:

  • (ImageCollection) —

    A new collection that only includes images for which the specified user ID has explicit launch permissions. The user ID can be an AWS account ID, :self to return AMIs for which the sender of the request has explicit launch permissions, or :all to return AMIs with public launch permissions.

end

#with_owner(*owners) ⇒ ImageCollection

Returns A new collection that only includes images owned by one or more of the specified AWS accounts. The IDs :amazon and :self can be used to include AMIs owned by Amazon or AMIs owned by you, respectively.

Parameters:

  • owners (Array of Strings) —

    The AWS account IDs by which the new collection should be filtered.

Returns:

  • (ImageCollection) —

    A new collection that only includes images owned by one or more of the specified AWS accounts. The IDs :amazon and :self can be used to include AMIs owned by Amazon or AMIs owned by you, respectively.
