Amazon Lightsail

Allocates a static IP address.

Attaches an SSL/TLS certificate to your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution. After the certificate is attached, your distribution accepts HTTPS traffic for all of the domains that are associated with the certificate. Use the CreateCertificate action to create a certificate that you can attach to your distribution. Only certificates created in the us-east-1 Amazon Web Services Region can be attached to Lightsail distributions. Lightsail distributions are global resources that can reference an origin in any Amazon Web Services Region, and distribute its content globally. However, all distributions are located in the us-east-1 Region.

Attaches a block storage disk to a running or stopped Lightsail instance and exposes it to the instance with the specified disk name. The attach disk operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by disk name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Attaches one or more Lightsail instances to a load balancer. After some time, the instances are attached to the load balancer and the health check status is available. The attach instances to load balancer operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by load balancer name. For more information, see the Lightsail Developer Guide.

Attaches a Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate to your load balancer. TLS is just an updated, more secure version of Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Once you create and validate your certificate, you can attach it to your load balancer. You can also use this API to rotate the certificates on your account. Use the AttachLoadBalancerTlsCertificate action with the non-attached certificate, and it will replace the existing one and become the attached certificate. The AttachLoadBalancerTlsCertificate operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by load balancer name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Attaches a static IP address to a specific Amazon Lightsail instance.

Closes ports for a specific Amazon Lightsail instance. The CloseInstancePublicPorts action supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by instanceName. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Copies a manual snapshot of an instance or disk as another manual snapshot, or copies an automatic snapshot of an instance or disk as a manual snapshot. This operation can also be used to copy a manual or automatic snapshot of an instance or a disk from one Amazon Web Services Region to another in Amazon Lightsail. When copying a manual snapshot, be sure to define the source region, source snapshot name, and target snapshot name parameters. When copying an automatic snapshot, be sure to define the source region, source resource name, target snapshot name, and either the restore date or the use latest restorable auto snapshot parameters.

Creates an Amazon Lightsail bucket. A bucket is a cloud storage resource available in the Lightsail object storage service. Use buckets to store objects such as data and its descriptive metadata. For more information about buckets, see Buckets in Amazon Lightsail in the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a new access key for the specified Amazon Lightsail bucket. Access keys consist of an access key ID and corresponding secret access key. Access keys grant full programmatic access to the specified bucket and its objects. You can have a maximum of two access keys per bucket. Use the GetBucketAccessKeys action to get a list of current access keys for a specific bucket. For more information about access keys, see Creating access keys for a bucket in Amazon Lightsail in the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide. The secretAccessKey value is returned only in response to the CreateBucketAccessKey action. You can get a secret access key only when you first create an access key; you cannot get the secret access key later. If you lose the secret access key, you must create a new access key.

Creates an SSL/TLS certificate for an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution and a container service. After the certificate is valid, use the AttachCertificateToDistribution action to use the certificate and its domains with your distribution. Or use the UpdateContainerService action to use the certificate and its domains with your container service. Only certificates created in the us-east-1 Amazon Web Services Region can be attached to Lightsail distributions. Lightsail distributions are global resources that can reference an origin in any Amazon Web Services Region, and distribute its content globally. However, all distributions are located in the us-east-1 Region.

Creates an AWS CloudFormation stack, which creates a new Amazon EC2 instance from an exported Amazon Lightsail snapshot. This operation results in a CloudFormation stack record that can be used to track the AWS CloudFormation stack created. Use the get cloud formation stack records operation to get a list of the CloudFormation stacks created. Wait until after your new Amazon EC2 instance is created before running the create cloud formation stack operation again with the same export snapshot record.

Creates an email or SMS text message contact method. A contact method is used to send you notifications about your Amazon Lightsail resources. You can add one email address and one mobile phone number contact method in each Amazon Web Services Region. However, SMS text messaging is not supported in some Amazon Web Services Regions, and SMS text messages cannot be sent to some countries/regions. For more information, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

Creates an Amazon Lightsail container service. A Lightsail container service is a compute resource to which you can deploy containers. For more information, see Container services in Amazon Lightsail in the Lightsail Dev Guide.

Creates a deployment for your Amazon Lightsail container service. A deployment specifies the containers that will be launched on the container service and their settings, such as the ports to open, the environment variables to apply, and the launch command to run. It also specifies the container that will serve as the public endpoint of the deployment and its settings, such as the HTTP or HTTPS port to use, and the health check configuration. You can deploy containers to your container service using container images from a public registry such as Amazon ECR Public, or from your local machine. For more information, see Creating container images for your Amazon Lightsail container services in the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a temporary set of log in credentials that you can use to log in to the Docker process on your local machine. After you're logged in, you can use the native Docker commands to push your local container images to the container image registry of your Amazon Lightsail account so that you can use them with your Lightsail container service. The log in credentials expire 12 hours after they are created, at which point you will need to create a new set of log in credentials. You can only push container images to the container service registry of your Lightsail account. You cannot pull container images or perform any other container image management actions on the container service registry. After you push your container images to the container image registry of your Lightsail account, use the RegisterContainerImage action to register the pushed images to a specific Lightsail container service. This action is not required if you install and use the Lightsail Control (lightsailctl) plugin to push container images to your Lightsail container service. For more information, see Pushing and managing container images on your Amazon Lightsail container services in the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a block storage disk that can be attached to an Amazon Lightsail instance in the same Availability Zone (e.g., us-east-2a). The create disk operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a block storage disk from a manual or automatic snapshot of a disk. The resulting disk can be attached to an Amazon Lightsail instance in the same Availability Zone (e.g., us-east-2a). The create disk from snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags and resource tags applied to the resource identified by disk snapshot name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a snapshot of a block storage disk. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of disks, and to save data before shutting down a Lightsail instance. You can take a snapshot of an attached disk that is in use; however, snapshots only capture data that has been written to your disk at the time the snapshot command is issued. This may exclude any data that has been cached by any applications or the operating system. If you can pause any file systems on the disk long enough to take a snapshot, your snapshot should be complete. Nevertheless, if you cannot pause all file writes to the disk, you should unmount the disk from within the Lightsail instance, issue the create disk snapshot command, and then remount the disk to ensure a consistent and complete snapshot. You may remount and use your disk while the snapshot status is pending. You can also use this operation to create a snapshot of an instance's system volume. You might want to do this, for example, to recover data from the system volume of a botched instance or to create a backup of the system volume like you would for a block storage disk. To create a snapshot of a system volume, just define the instance name parameter when issuing the snapshot command, and a snapshot of the defined instance's system volume will be created. After the snapshot is available, you can create a block storage disk from the snapshot and attach it to a running instance to access the data on the disk. The create disk snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution. A distribution is a globally distributed network of caching servers that improve the performance of your website or web application hosted on a Lightsail instance. For more information, see Content delivery networks in Amazon Lightsail.

Creates a domain resource for the specified domain (e.g., example.com). The create domain operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates one of the following domain name system (DNS) records in a domain DNS zone: Address (A), canonical name (CNAME), mail exchanger (MX), name server (NS), start of authority (SOA), service locator (SRV), or text (TXT). The create domain entry operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by domain name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates two URLs that are used to access a virtual computer’s graphical user interface (GUI) session. The primary URL initiates a web-based NICE DCV session to the virtual computer's application. The secondary URL initiates a web-based NICE DCV session to the virtual computer's operating session. Use StartGUISession to open the session.

Creates a snapshot of a specific virtual private server, or instance. You can use a snapshot to create a new instance that is based on that snapshot. The create instance snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates one or more Amazon Lightsail instances. The create instances operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates one or more new instances from a manual or automatic snapshot of an instance. The create instances from snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags and resource tags applied to the resource identified by instance snapshot name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a custom SSH key pair that you can use with an Amazon Lightsail instance. Use the DownloadDefaultKeyPair action to create a Lightsail default key pair in an Amazon Web Services Region where a default key pair does not currently exist. The create key pair operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a Lightsail load balancer. To learn more about deciding whether to load balance your application, see Configure your Lightsail instances for load balancing. You can create up to 5 load balancers per AWS Region in your account. When you create a load balancer, you can specify a unique name and port settings. To change additional load balancer settings, use the UpdateLoadBalancerAttribute operation. The create load balancer operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates an SSL/TLS certificate for an Amazon Lightsail load balancer. TLS is just an updated, more secure version of Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The CreateLoadBalancerTlsCertificate operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by load balancer name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a new database in Amazon Lightsail. The create relational database operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a new database from an existing database snapshot in Amazon Lightsail. You can create a new database from a snapshot in if something goes wrong with your original database, or to change it to a different plan, such as a high availability or standard plan. The create relational database from snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags and resource tags applied to the resource identified by relationalDatabaseSnapshotName. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Creates a snapshot of your database in Amazon Lightsail. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of a database, and to save data before deleting a database. The create relational database snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes an alarm. An alarm is used to monitor a single metric for one of your resources. When a metric condition is met, the alarm can notify you by email, SMS text message, and a banner displayed on the Amazon Lightsail console. For more information, see Alarms in Amazon Lightsail.

Deletes an automatic snapshot of an instance or disk. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes a Amazon Lightsail bucket. When you delete your bucket, the bucket name is released and can be reused for a new bucket in your account or another Amazon Web Services account.

Deletes an access key for the specified Amazon Lightsail bucket. We recommend that you delete an access key if the secret access key is compromised. For more information about access keys, see Creating access keys for a bucket in Amazon Lightsail in the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes an SSL/TLS certificate for your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution. Certificates that are currently attached to a distribution cannot be deleted. Use the DetachCertificateFromDistribution action to detach a certificate from a distribution.

Deletes a contact method. A contact method is used to send you notifications about your Amazon Lightsail resources. You can add one email address and one mobile phone number contact method in each Amazon Web Services Region. However, SMS text messaging is not supported in some Amazon Web Services Regions, and SMS text messages cannot be sent to some countries/regions. For more information, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

Deletes a container image that is registered to your Amazon Lightsail container service.

Deletes your Amazon Lightsail container service.

Deletes the specified block storage disk. The disk must be in the available state (not attached to a Lightsail instance). The disk may remain in the deleting state for several minutes. The delete disk operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by disk name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes the specified disk snapshot. When you make periodic snapshots of a disk, the snapshots are incremental, and only the blocks on the device that have changed since your last snapshot are saved in the new snapshot. When you delete a snapshot, only the data not needed for any other snapshot is removed. So regardless of which prior snapshots have been deleted, all active snapshots will have access to all the information needed to restore the disk. The delete disk snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by disk snapshot name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Deletes the specified domain recordset and all of its domain records. The delete domain operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by domain name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes a specific domain entry. The delete domain entry operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by domain name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes an Amazon Lightsail instance. The delete instance operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by instance name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes a specific snapshot of a virtual private server (or instance). The delete instance snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by instance snapshot name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes the specified key pair by removing the public key from Amazon Lightsail. You can delete key pairs that were created using the ImportKeyPair and CreateKeyPair actions, as well as the Lightsail default key pair. A new default key pair will not be created unless you launch an instance without specifying a custom key pair, or you call the DownloadDefaultKeyPair API. The delete key pair operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by key pair name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Deletes the known host key or certificate used by the Amazon Lightsail browser-based SSH or RDP clients to authenticate an instance. This operation enables the Lightsail browser-based SSH or RDP clients to connect to the instance after a host key mismatch. Perform this operation only if you were expecting the host key or certificate mismatch or if you are familiar with the new host key or certificate on the instance. For more information, see Troubleshooting connection issues when using the Amazon Lightsail browser-based SSH or RDP client.

Deletes a Lightsail load balancer and all its associated SSL/TLS certificates. Once the load balancer is deleted, you will need to create a new load balancer, create a new certificate, and verify domain ownership again. The delete load balancer operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by load balancer name. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
