View AMIs with EC2 Fast Launch enabled

You can use the describe-fast-launch-images command in the AWS CLI, or the Get-EC2FastLaunchImage Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet to get details for AMIs that have EC2 Fast Launch enabled.

Amazon EC2 provides the following details for each Windows AMI that is returned in the results:

  • The image ID for an AMI with EC2 Fast Launch enabled.

  • The resource type that is used for pre-provisioning the associated Windows AMI. Supported value: snapshot.

  • The snapshot configuration, which is a group of parameters that configure pre-provisioning for the associated Windows AMI using snapshots.

  • Launch template information, including the ID, name, and version of the launch template that the associated AMI uses when it launches Window instances from pre-provisioned snapshots.

  • The maximum number of instances that can be launched at the same time for creating resources.

  • The owner ID for the associated AMI. This is not populated for AMIs that are shared with you.

  • The current state of EC2 Fast Launch for the associated AMI. Supported values include: enabling | enabling-failed | enabled | enabled-failed | disabling | disabling-failed.

    Note

    You can also see the current state displayed in the Manage image optimization page in the EC2 console, as Image optimization state.

  • The reason that EC2 Fast Launch for the associated AMI changed to the current state.

  • The time that EC2 Fast Launch for the associated AMI changed to the current state.
