modify-image-attribute¶

Description¶

Modifies the specified attribute of the specified AMI. You can specify only one attribute at a time.

To specify the attribute, you can use the Attribute parameter, or one of the following parameters: Description , ImdsSupport , or LaunchPermission .

Images with an Amazon Web Services Marketplace product code cannot be made public.

To enable the SriovNetSupport enhanced networking attribute of an image, enable SriovNetSupport on an instance and create an AMI from the instance.

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Add": [
    {
      "Group": "all",
      "UserId": "string",
      "OrganizationArn": "string",
      "OrganizationalUnitArn": "string"

  ]
}

--operation-type (string)

The operation type. This parameter can be used only when the Attribute parameter is launchPermission .

Possible values:

add

remove

--product-codes (list)

Not supported.

--user-groups (list)

The user groups. This parameter can be used only when the Attribute parameter is launchPermission .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--user-ids (list)

The Amazon Web Services account IDs. This parameter can be used only when the Attribute parameter is launchPermission .

(string)

Syntax:

--value (string)

The value of the attribute being modified. This parameter can be used only when the Attribute parameter is description or imdsSupport .

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

--imds-support (structure)

Set to v2.0 to indicate that IMDSv2 is specified in the AMI. Instances launched from this AMI will have HttpTokens automatically set to required so that, by default, the instance requires that IMDSv2 is used when requesting instance metadata. In addition, HttpPutResponseHopLimit is set to 2 . For more information, see Configure the AMI in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Warning
Do not use this parameter unless your AMI software supports IMDSv2. After you set the value to v2.0 , you can't undo it. The only way to “reset” your AMI is to create a new AMI from the underlying snapshot.

Value -> (string)

The attribute value. The value is case-sensitive.

--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.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To make an AMI public

The following modify-instance-attribute example makes the specified AMI public.

aws ec2 modify-image-attribute \
    --image-id ami-5731123e \
    --launch-permission "Add=[{Group=all}]"

This command produces no output.

Example 2: To make an AMI private

The following modify-instance-attribute example makes the specified AMI private.

aws ec2 modify-image-attribute \
    --image-id ami-5731123e \
    --launch-permission "Remove=[{Group=all}]"
