In this example, we'll use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to programmatically launch an EC2 instance. This script demonstrates how to create a session with your AWS credentials and then use that session to start an EC2 instance in your specified region.
Key Steps:
Session Creation: We begin by creating a session with our AWS credentials.
EC2 Client: Using this session, we establish an EC2 client to interact with the EC2 service.
Launching an Instance: We then launch an EC2 instance by specifying the AMI ID, instance type, key pair, security group, and subnet.
import boto3
# Create a session using your credentials
session = boto3.Session(
aws_access_key_id='access key need to paste', #replace wit your access key
aws_secret_access_key='sec access key need to paste', #replace with your sec access key
region_name='ap-southeast-1' # Replace with your region name
)
# Create an EC2 client
ec2_client = session.client('ec2')
# Launch an EC2 instance
response = ec2_client.run_instances(
ImageId='ami-0a6b545f62129c495', # Replace with your AMI ID
InstanceType='t2.micro', # Replace with your instance type
MinCount=1,
MaxCount=1,
KeyName='sinapore-mac', # Replace with your key pair name
SecurityGroupIds=['sg-064b056b2a7650e76'], # Replace with your security group ID
SubnetId='subnet-08237211566f4e5f5' # Replace with your subnet ID
)
# Print the instance ID
instance_id = response['Instances'][0]['InstanceId']
print(f'Launched instance with ID: {instance_id}')
