Public Instance methods

Adds one or more product codes:

  image.add_product_codes 'ABCXYZ', 'MNOPQR'

You can also pass an array of product codes:

  image.add_product_codes ['ABCXYZ', 'MNOPQR']

@param [Array<String>] product_codes @return [nil]

@return [Hash] Returns a hash of block

  [volume_size] The size of the volume, in GiBs.

  [delete_on_termination] True if the Amazon EBS volume is
                          deleted on instance termination.
delete()

Alias for deregister

Deregisters this AMI. Once deregistered, the AMI cannot be used to launch new instances. @return [nil]

@return [Boolean] Returns true if the AMI exists (is returned by

  the DescribeImages action).

@return [Image] The kernel associated with the image, if

  any. Only applicable for machine images.

@return [Image] The RAM disk associated with the image, if

  any. Only applicable for machine images.

Runs a single instance of this image.

@param [Hash] options @option (see InstanceCollection#create) @return (see InstanceCollection#create)

Runs multiple instances of this image.

@param [Integer] count How many instances to request. You can specify

  this either as an integer or as a Range, to indicate the
  minimum and maximum number of instances to run.  Note that
  for a new account you can request at most 20 instances at
  a time.

@param [Hash] options @option (see InstanceCollection#create) @return [Array<Instance>] An array containing an {Instance} object for

  each instance that was run.
