Client

class EC2InstanceConnect.Client

A low-level client representing AWS EC2 Instance Connect

Amazon EC2 Instance Connect enables system administrators to publish one-time use SSH public keys to EC2, providing users a simple and secure way to connect to their instances.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ec2-instance-connect')

These are the available methods:

• can_paginate()
• get_paginator()
• get_waiter()
• send_serial_console_ssh_public_key()
• send_ssh_public_key()

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters

operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").

Returns

True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.

get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

Parameters

operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").

Raises OperationNotPageableError

Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.

Return type

L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}

Returns

A paginator object.

get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters

waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.

Returns

The specified waiter object.

Return type

botocore.waiter.Waiter

send_serial_console_ssh_public_key(**kwargs)

Pushes an SSH public key to the specified EC2 instance. The key remains for 60 seconds, which gives you 60 seconds to establish a serial console connection to the instance using SSH. For more information, see EC2 Serial Console in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .
