I am reading throught the cli documentation and it seems like this should be possible, based on some of the outputs, but I can't seem to get the following option to work with run instance.

aws ec2 run-instances \
   --image-id ami-8d534dc8 \
   --region us-west-1 \
   --count 1 \
   --instance-type t2.medium \
   --private-dns-name test.us-west-1.compute.internal

This is the error that I am getting:

Unknown options: --private-dns-name, test.us-west-1.compute.internal

Has anybody been able to get this working?

you can do this, and make whatever other server changes in general (ie sign into puppet), with cloud-init and passing --user-data at launch.

  • Hmm, hadn't thought of going the cloud-init route. Looks like it should be possible but I don't see a good example in there? – jmreicha Jan 16 '15 at 21:35

Here is a list of acceptable switches to use with aws ec2 run-instances, as you can see --private-dns-name is not one of them.
