aws	AWS: aws_ami	docs-aws-datasource-ami	Get information on a Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

aws_ami

Use this data source to get the ID of a registered AMI for use in other resources.

Example Usage

data "aws_ami" "nat_ami" {
  most_recent = true
  executable_users = ["self"]
  filter {
    name = "owner-alias"
    values = ["amazon"]
  }
  filter {
    name = "name"
    values = ["amzn-ami-vpc-nat*"]
  }
  owners = ["self"]
}

Argument Reference

• most_recent (optional): If more than one result is returned, use the most recent AMI.

• executable_users: Limit search to users with explicit launch permission on the image. Valid items are the numeric account ID or self.

• filter: One or more name/value pairs to filter off of. There are several valid keys, for a full reference, check out describe-images in the AWS CLI reference.

• owners: Limit search to specific AMI owners. Valid items are the numeric account ID, amazon, or self.

~> NOTE: one of executable_users, filter, or owners must be specified.

~> NOTE: if more or less than a single match is returned by the search, Terraform will fail. Ensure that your search is specific enough to return a single AMI ID only, or use most_recent to choose the most recent one.

Attributes Reference

id is set to the ID of the found AMI. In addition, the following attributes are exported:

~> NOTE: some values are not always set and may not be available for interpolation.

• architecture - The OS architecture of the AMI (ie: i368 or x86_64).
• block_device_mappings - The block device mappings of the AMI.
  • block_device_mappings.#.device_name - The physical name of the device.
  • block_device_mappings.#.ebs.delete_on_termination - true if the EBS volume will be deleted on termination.
  • block_device_mappings.#.ebs.encrypted - true if the EBS volume is encrypted.
  • block_device_mappings.#.ebs.encrypted - 0 if the EBS volume not a provisioned IOPS image, otherwise the supported IOPS count.
  • block_device_mappings.#.ebs.snapshot_id - The ID of the snapshot.
  • block_device_mappings.#.ebs.volume_size - The size of the volume, in GiB.
  • block_device_mappings.#.ebs.volume_type - The volume type.
  • block_device_mappings.#.no_device - Suppresses the specified device included in the block device mapping of the AMI.
  • block_device_mappings.#.virtual_name - The virtual device name (for instance stores).
• creation_date - The date and time the image was created.
• description - The description of the AMI that was provided during image creation.
• hypervisor - The hypervisor type of the image.
• image_id - The ID of the AMI. Should be the same as the resource id.
• image_location - The location of the AMI.
• image_owner_alias - The AWS account alias (for example, amazon, self) or the AWS account ID of the AMI owner.
• image_type - The type of image.
• kernel_id - The kernel associated with the image, if any. Only applicable for machine images.
• name - The name of the AMI that was provided during image creation.
• owner_id - The AWS account ID of the image owner.
• platform - The value is Windows for Windows AMIs; otherwise blank.
• product_codes - Any product codes associated with the AMI.
  • product_codes.#.product_code_id - The product code.
  • product_codes.#.product_code_type - The type of product code.
• public - true if the image has public launch permissions.
• ramdisk_id - The RAM disk associated with the image, if any. Only applicable for machine images.
• root_device_name - The device name of the root device.
• root_device_type - The type of root device (ie: ebs or instance-store).
• sriov_net_support - Specifies whether enhanced networking is enabled.
• state - The current state of the AMI. If the state is available, the image is successfully registered and can be used to launch an instance.
• state_reason - Describes a state change. Fields are UNSET if not available.
  • state_reason.code - The reason code for the state change.
  • state_reason.message - The message for the state change.
• tags - Any tags assigned to the image.
  • tags.#.key - The key name of the tag.
  • tags.#.value - The value of the tag.
• virtualization_type - The type of virtualization of the AMI (ie: hvm or paravirtual).
