The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | 
|---|---|---|
| architecture  -  | The target architecture of the image to register | |
| aws_access_key  string  | AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key | |
| aws_secret_key  string  | AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key | |
| billing_products  -  added in 2.5 | A list of valid billing codes. To be used with valid accounts by aws marketplace vendors. | |
| debug_botocore_endpoint_logs  boolean  added in 2.8 | 
 | Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used. | 
| delete_snapshot  boolean  | 
 | Delete snapshots when deregistering the AMI. | 
| description  -  | Human-readable string describing the contents and purpose of the AMI. | |
| device_mapping  -  | List of device hashes/dictionaries with custom configurations (same block-device-mapping parameters). Valid properties include: device_name, volume_type, size/volume_size (in GiB), delete_on_termination (boolean), no_device (boolean), snapshot_id, iops (for io1 volume_type), encrypted | |
| ec2_url  string  | Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used. | |
| enhanced_networking  boolean  added in 2.5 | 
 | A boolean representing whether enhanced networking with ENA is enabled or not. | 
| image_id  -  | Image ID to be deregistered. | |
| image_location  -  added in 2.5 | The s3 location of an image to use for the AMI. | |
| instance_id  -  | Instance ID to create the AMI from. | |
| kernel_id  -  | The target kernel id of the image to register. | |
| launch_permissions  -  | Users and groups that should be able to launch the AMI. Expects dictionary with a key of user_ids and/or group_names. user_ids should be a list of account ids. group_name should be a list of groups, "all" is the only acceptable value currently. You must pass all desired launch permissions if you wish to modify existing launch permissions (passing just groups will remove all users) | |
| name  -  | The name of the new AMI. | |
| no_reboot  boolean  | 
 | Flag indicating that the bundling process should not attempt to shutdown the instance before bundling. If this flag is True, the responsibility of maintaining file system integrity is left to the owner of the instance. | 
| profile  string  | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0. | |
| purge_tags  boolean  added in 2.5 | 
 | Whether to remove existing tags that aren't passed in the  tagsparameter | 
| ramdisk_id  -  added in 2.5 | The ID of the RAM disk. | |
| region  string  | The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region
 aliases: aws_region, ec2_region | |
| root_device_name  -  | The root device name of the image to register. | |
| security_token  string  | AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. aliases: access_token | |
| sriov_net_support  -  added in 2.5 | Set to simple to enable enhanced networking with the Intel 82599 Virtual Function interface for the AMI and any instances that you launch from the AMI. | |
| state  -  | 
 | Register or deregister an AMI. | 
| tags  -  | A dictionary of tags to add to the new image; '{"key":"value"}' and '{"key":"value","key":"value"}' | |
| validate_certs  boolean  | 
 | When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0. | 
| virtualization_type  -  | The virtualization type of the image to register. | |
| wait  boolean  | 
 | Wait for the AMI to be in state 'available' before returning. | 
| wait_timeout  -  | Default: 900 | How long before wait gives up, in seconds. | 
Note
AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file# Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details.
