create_instances_from_snapshot(**kwargs)¶Creates one or more new instances from a manual or automatic snapshot of an instance.
The create instances from snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags and resource tags applied to the resource identified by instance snapshot name . For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

[REQUIRED]
The names for your new instances.
An object containing information about one or more disk mappings.
Describes a block storage disk mapping.
The original disk path exposed to the instance (for example, /dev/sdh ).
The new disk name (e.g., my-new-disk ).
[REQUIRED]
The Availability Zone where you want to create your instances. Use the following formatting: us-east-2a (case sensitive). You can get a list of Availability Zones by using the get regions operation. Be sure to add the include Availability Zones parameter to your request.
The name of the instance snapshot on which you are basing your new instances. Use the get instance snapshots operation to return information about your existing snapshots.
Constraint:
source instance name parameter. The instance snapshot name and source instance name parameters are mutually exclusive.[REQUIRED]
The bundle of specification information for your virtual private server (or instance ), including the pricing plan (e.g., micro_1_0 ).
You can create a launch script that configures a server with additional user data. For example, apt-get -y update .
Note
Depending on the machine image you choose, the command to get software on your instance varies. Amazon Linux and CentOS use yum , Debian and Ubuntu use apt-get , and FreeBSD uses pkg . For a complete list, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
The tag keys and optional values to add to the resource during create.
Use the TagResource action to tag a resource after it's created.
Describes a tag key and optional value assigned to an Amazon Lightsail resource.
For more information about tags in Lightsail, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
The key of the tag.
Constraints: Tag keys accept a maximum of 128 letters, numbers, spaces in UTF-8, or the following characters: + - = . _ : / @
The value of the tag.
Constraints: Tag values accept a maximum of 256 letters, numbers, spaces in UTF-8, or the following characters: + - = . _ : / @
An array of objects representing the add-ons to enable for the new instance.
Describes a request to enable, modify, or disable an add-on for an Amazon Lightsail resource.
Note
An additional cost may be associated with enabling add-ons. For more information, see the Lightsail pricing page.
The add-on type.
An object that represents additional parameters when enabling or modifying the automatic snapshot add-on.
The daily time when an automatic snapshot will be created.
Constraints:
HH:00 format, and in an hourly increment.An object that represents additional parameters when enabling or modifying the StopInstanceOnIdle add-on.
Warning
This object only applies to Lightsail for Research resources.
The value to compare with the duration.
The amount of idle time in minutes after which your virtual computer will automatically stop.
The IP address type for the instance.
The possible values are ipv4 for IPv4 only, and dualstack for IPv4 and IPv6.
The default value is dualstack .
The name of the source instance from which the source automatic snapshot was created.
Constraints:
instance snapshot name parameter. The source instance name and instance snapshot name parameters are mutually exclusive.The date of the automatic snapshot to use for the new instance. Use the get auto snapshots operation to identify the dates of the available automatic snapshots.
Constraints:
YYYY-MM-DD format.use latest restorable auto snapshot parameter. The restore date and use latest restorable auto snapshot parameters are mutually exclusive.A Boolean value to indicate whether to use the latest available automatic snapshot.
Constraints:
restore date parameter. The use latest restorable auto snapshot and restore date parameters are mutually exclusive.dict
