I am attempting to test the creation of a spot instance from the CLI (on Windows). I am following the CLI documentation precisely as far as I can tell but I keep receiving an "unknown options" error as follows:
C:\Python27\Scripts>aws ec2 request-spot-instances --spot-price 0.04 --type persistent
--availability-zone us-east-1a
--block-device-mapping "/dev/sdb=snap-ec0f8df5::false" ami-e55a7e8c
Unknown options: --block-device-mapping, ami-e55a7e8c, /dev/sdb=snap-ec0f8df5::false
I don't see what I'm doing wrong... Thanks for you help!
I ultimately found that at the time, there were separate CLI tools for AWS in general & EC2.

I was able to run the create-cluster cli successfully and launched my EMR cluster, but when I tried to run below command to add a step:
aws emr add-steps --cluster-id j-your-cluster-id --steps Type=CUSTOM_JAR,Name=CustomJAR,ActionOnFailure=CONTINUE,Jar=s3://mybucket/mytest.jar,Args=arg1,arg2,arg3 Type=CUSTOM_JAR,Name=CustomJAR,ActionOnFailure=CONTINUE,Jar=s3://mybucket/mytest.jar,MainClass=mymainclass,Args=arg1,arg2,arg3 --profile my-test-account
it failed with this error:
An error occurred (InvalidRequestException) when calling the DescribeCluster operation: Cluster id 'j-your-cluster-id' is not valid.
and I've double checked j-your-cluster-id is matching my cluster-id exactly.
I feel like this is a permission issue, but how come the same profile could let me create a cluster, but cannot let me describe it?
How can I dig further and fix this please?
Based on the comments.
The issue was caused by execution AWS CLI in different region than intended. The solution was to use --region option to provide correct region for the CLI.
I recently spun up a t2.micro image and I want to install neo4j on it. I started with the instructions at https://neo4j.com/developer/neo4j-cloud-aws-ec2-ami/. But I got to the step for creating a security group and I received an error that a region needed to be supplied. Here is the command I used:
aws ec2 create-security-group \
--group-name $GROUP \
--description "Neo4j security group"
The error message was
You must specify a region. You can also configure your region by running "aws configure".
When I run this command I get prompted by a lot of stuff that don't seem related to region? Not only am I prompted for values that I don't know where/how to get them, when I am prompted for the region I am not sure the format to enter the region. So my question is how to I configure a security group so I can move on to installing neo4j on this instance?
There are still several steps to follow to install neo4j, but I seem to be tripped up on this step.
The commands expect a default region under ~/.aws/config
[default]
region=us-west-2
output=json
On the link that you have shared, there is a step to "Configure the AWS CLI with Your Credentials". This step allows you setup aws profile(s) and as part of those profiles, you can set a region.
Follow this link to understand how you can setup your aws profile with credentials and region details

Hope it helps
I'm trying to get into the reporting of AWS instances within my environments, and I am trying to create a script using AWS cli to generate a report of the status of EC2 instances. I'm still a beginner, so I'm learning how all this works. I was wondering if it was possible to do with a line similar to this:
AWS EC2 describe-instances --region $REGION --query 'Reservations[].Instances[?LaunchTime>=`2015-03-01`][].{id: InstanceId, type: InstanceType, launched: LaunchTime}'
I am using the Cygwin Terminal to perform this query, and any with this would be awesome thanks!
If it's possible I am also trying to see if I could get the CPU usage at that time of the report. I am still trying to understand how all this works since I am new to the AWS API.
Firstly, you will need to install the aws-sdk. Checkout the following answer for doing this in cygwin.
Then you can configure your account using aws configure and following the prompts.
After that you should be able to run aws ec2 describe-instances.
Thanks for everyone's input! I was able to figure it out here. I'm starting to understand how the population output all comes together, but right now I'm trying to put this information into at TSV file. To get the status and launch time of the instances I used the following:
aws ec2 describe-instances --region $REGION --query "Reservations[].Instances[].[InstanceId, LaunchTime, State.Name] --output text >> Instances_In_AWS.tsv
Thank you guys for your help!
I am actually trying to deploy my application using Kubernetes in the AWS Kops. For this i followed the steps given in the AWS workshop tutorial.
https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-workshop-for-kubernetes/tree/master/01-path-basics/101-start-here
I created a AWS Cloud9 environment by logging in as a IAM user and installed kops and other required software's as well. When i try to create the cluster using the following command
kops create cluster --name cs.cluster.k8s.local --zones $AWS_AVAILABILITY_ZONES
--yes
i get an error like below in the cloud9 IDE
error running tasks: deadline exceeded executing task IAMRole/nodes.cs.cluster.k8s.local. Example error: error creating IAMRole: InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid
status code: 403, request id: 30fe2a97-0fc4-11e8-8c48-0f8441e73bc3
I am not able to find a way to solve this issue. Any help on this would be appreciable.
I found the issue and fixed it. Actually
I did not export the following 2 environment variables in the terminal where I am running create cluster. These 2 below variables are required while creating a cluster using kops
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(aws configure get aws_access_key_id)
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws configure get aws_secret_access_key)
configured AWS Cli on Linux system.
While running any command like "aws ec2 describe-instances" it is showing error "Invalid IPv6 URL"
Ran into the same error.
Running this command fixed the error for me:
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
You might also try specifying the region when running any command:
aws s3 ls --region us-east-1
Hope this helps!
or run aws configure and enter valid region for default region name
I ran into this issue due to region being wrongly typed. When you run aws configure during initial setup, if you try to delete a mistaken entry, it will end up having invalid characters in the region name.
Hopefully, running aws configure again will resolve your issue.
