Enable AMD SEV-SNP for an Amazon EC2 instance - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Enable AMD SEV-SNP for an Amazon EC2 instance

You can use the AWS CLI to launch an instance with AMD SEV-SNP enabled. You can't enable AMD SEV-SNP after launch.

To launch an instance with AMD SEV-SNP enabled, you must use the AWS CLI. Use the run-instances command and include the --cpu-options AmdSevSnp=enabled option. For --image-id, specify an AMI with the uefi or uefi-prefered boot mode and an operating system that supports AMD SEV-SNP. For --instance-type, specify a supported instance type.

$ aws ec2 run-instances \
--image-id supported_ami_id \
--instance-type supported_instance_type \
--key-name key_pair_name \
--subnet-id subnet_id \
--cpu-options AmdSevSnp=enabled
