block_devices (Optional[Sequence[Union[BlockDevice, Dict[str, Any]]]]) – Specifies how block devices are exposed to the instance. You can specify virtual devices and EBS volumes. Each instance that is launched has an associated root device volume, either an Amazon EBS volume or an instance store volume. You can use block device mappings to specify additional EBS volumes or instance store volumes to attach to an instance when it is launched. Default: - Uses the block device mapping of the AMI
credit_specification (Optional[CpuCredits]) – Specifying the CPU credit type for burstable EC2 instance types (T2, T3, T3a, etc).

enclave_enabled (Optional[bool]) – Whether the instance is enabled for AWS Nitro Enclaves. Nitro Enclaves requires a Nitro-based virtualized parent instance with specific Intel/AMD with at least 4 vCPUs or Graviton with at least 2 vCPUs instance types and Linux/Windows host OS, while the enclave itself supports only Linux OS.

key_pair (Optional[IKeyPair]) – The SSH keypair to grant access to the instance. Default: - No SSH access will be possible.
placement_group (Optional[IPlacementGroup]) – The placement group that you want to launch the instance into. Default: - no placement group will be used for this instance.

Default: - A role will automatically be created, it can be accessed via the role property
security_group (Optional[ISecurityGroup]) – Security Group to assign to this instance. Default: - create new security group
source_dest_check (Optional[bool]) – Specifies whether to enable an instance launched in a VPC to perform NAT. This controls whether source/destination checking is enabled on the instance. A value of true means that checking is enabled, and false means that checking is disabled. The value must be false for the instance to perform NAT. Default: true
ssm_session_permissions (Optional[bool]) – Add SSM session permissions to the instance role. Setting this to true adds the necessary permissions to connect to the instance using SSM Session Manager. You can do this from the AWS Console. NOTE: Setting this flag to true may not be enough by itself. You must also use an AMI that comes with the SSM Agent, or install the SSM Agent yourself. See Working with SSM Agent in the SSM Developer Guide. Default: false
user_data (Optional[UserData]) – Specific UserData to use. The UserData may still be mutated after creation. Default: - A UserData object appropriate for the MachineImage’s Operating System is created.
user_data_causes_replacement (Optional[bool]) – Changes to the UserData force replacement. Depending the EC2 instance type, changing UserData either restarts the instance or replaces the instance. - Instance store-backed instances are replaced. - EBS-backed instances are restarted. By default, restarting does not execute the new UserData so you will need a different mechanism to ensure the instance is restarted. Setting this to true will make the instance’s Logical ID depend on the UserData, which will cause CloudFormation to replace it if the UserData changes. Default: - true if initOptions is specified, false otherwise.
vpc_subnets (Union[SubnetSelection, Dict[str, Any], None]) – Where to place the instance within the VPC. Default: - Private subnets.
