create_disk_from_snapshot

Lightsail.Client.create_disk_from_snapshot(**kwargs)

Creates a block storage disk from a manual or automatic snapshot of a disk. The resulting disk can be attached to an Amazon Lightsail instance in the same Availability Zone ( us-east-2a).

The create disk from snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags and resource tags applied to the resource identified by disk snapshot name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
