Image / Action / deregister

deregister#

EC2.Image.deregister(**kwargs)#

Deregisters the specified AMI. A deregistered AMI can’t be used to launch new instances.

If a deregistered EBS-backed AMI matches a Recycle Bin retention rule, it moves to the Recycle Bin for the specified retention period. It can be restored before its retention period expires, after which it is permanently deleted. If the deregistered AMI doesn’t match a retention rule, it is permanently deleted immediately. For more information, see Recycle Bin in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Deregistering an AMI does not delete the following:

Instances already launched from the AMI. You’ll continue to incur usage costs for the instances until you terminate them.
For EBS-backed AMIs: The snapshots that were created of the root and data volumes of the instance during AMI creation. You’ll continue to incur snapshot storage costs.
For instance store-backed AMIs: The files uploaded to Amazon S3 during AMI creation. You’ll continue to incur S3 storage costs.

For more information, see Deregister an Amazon EC2 AMI in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
