Options

--owner (string)

The owner defines which images you want to list. By default, this request will only show images owned by your account. You can use this field to specify if you want to view images owned by yourself, by Amazon, or those images that have been shared with you by other customers.

Possible values:

  • Self
  • Shared
  • Amazon
  • ThirdParty

--filters (list)

Use the following filters to streamline results:

  • name
  • osVersion
  • platform
  • type
  • version

(structure)

A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a list operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.

name -> (string)

The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

values -> (list)

The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "string",
    "values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--by-name | --no-by-name (boolean)

Requests a list of images with a specific recipe name.

--max-results (integer)

The maximum items to return in a request.

--next-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the nextToken from a previously truncated response.

--include-deprecated | --no-include-deprecated (boolean)

Includes deprecated images in the response list.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To list images

The following list-images example lists all of the semantic versions you have access to.

aws imagebuilder list-images

Output:

{
    "requestId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111",
    "imageVersionList": [
        {
            "arn": "arn:aws:imagebuilder:us-west-2:123456789012:image/mybasicrecipe/2019.12.03",
            "name": "MyBasicRecipe",
            "version": "2019.12.03",
            "platform": "Windows",
            "owner": "123456789012",
            "dateCreated": "2020-02-14T21:29:18.810Z"
        }
    ]
}

Output

requestId -> (string)

The request ID that uniquely identifies this request.

imageVersionList -> (list)

The list of image semantic versions.

Note

The semantic version has four nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>/<build>. You can assign values for the first three, and can filter on all of them.

Filtering: With semantic versioning, you have the flexibility to use wildcards (x) to specify the most recent versions or nodes when selecting the base image or components for your recipe. When you use a wildcard in any node, all nodes to the right of the first wildcard must also be wildcards.

(structure)

The defining characteristics of a specific version of an Image Builder image.

arn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a specific version of an Image Builder image.

Note

Semantic versioning is included in each object's Amazon Resource Name (ARN), at the level that applies to that object as follows:

  • Versionless ARNs and Name ARNs do not include specific values in any of the nodes. The nodes are either left off entirely, or they are specified as wildcards, for example: x.x.x.
  • Version ARNs have only the first three nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>
  • Build version ARNs have all four nodes, and point to a specific build for a specific version of an object.

name -> (string)

The name of this specific version of an Image Builder image.

type -> (string)

Specifies whether this image produces an AMI or a container image.

version -> (string)

Details for a specific version of an Image Builder image. This version follows the semantic version syntax.

Note

The semantic version has four nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>/<build>. You can assign values for the first three, and can filter on all of them.

Assignment: For the first three nodes you can assign any positive integer value, including zero, with an upper limit of 2^30-1, or 1073741823 for each node. Image Builder automatically assigns the build number to the fourth node.

Patterns: You can use any numeric pattern that adheres to the assignment requirements for the nodes that you can assign. For example, you might choose a software version pattern, such as 1.0.0, or a date, such as 2021.01.01.

Filtering: With semantic versioning, you have the flexibility to use wildcards (x) to specify the most recent versions or nodes when selecting the base image or components for your recipe. When you use a wildcard in any node, all nodes to the right of the first wildcard must also be wildcards.

platform -> (string)

The operating system platform of the image version, for example "Windows" or "Linux".

osVersion -> (string)

The operating system version of the Amazon EC2 build instance. For example, Amazon Linux 2, Ubuntu 18, or Microsoft Windows Server 2019.

owner -> (string)

The owner of the image version.

dateCreated -> (string)

The date on which this specific version of the Image Builder image was created.

buildType -> (string)

Indicates the type of build that created this image. The build can be initiated in the following ways:

  • USER_INITIATED – A manual pipeline build request.
  • SCHEDULED – A pipeline build initiated by a cron expression in the Image Builder pipeline, or from EventBridge.
  • IMPORT – A VM import created the image to use as the base image for the recipe.

imageSource -> (string)

The origin of the base image that Image Builder used to build this image.

nextToken -> (string)

The next token used for paginated responses. When this field isn't empty, there are additional elements that the service hasn't included in this request. Use this token with the next request to retrieve additional objects.
