    A hash in which each key is the name of a device that is mapped to an EBS volume. The value of each entry is an object describing the volume, including the following fields:

    status

    The status of the attachment (e.g. “attached”).

#create_image(name, options = {}) ⇒ Image

Creates an AMI from this instance.

Parameters:

  • name (String)

    A name for the new image you’re creating. Constraints: 3-128 alphanumeric characters, parenthesis (()), commas (,), slashes (/), dashes (-), or underscores(_)

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Additional options for creating the image.

Options Hash (options):

  • :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.

Returns:

  • (Image)

    The newly created image.
