I can't figure out through the botot docs and google search to create an ami image and make it public from the beginning. I can create an ami image, but it is always private. I can only make public afterward through the AWS panel.

This is my code to just create an image that is only private. 

image_id = self.conn.create_image(instance_id,name,no_reboot=no_reboot,dry_run=dry_run)

AMI image is created as private. There is no way to create them as public. After creation you can make them public using Boto/CLI or make them accessible for other accounts.

Call modify_image_attribute() after the image is created

self.conn.modify_image_attribute('image-id', groups='all')

  • thanks for the reply! how do you make it public through boto? the library doesn't seem to offer that option. only the web interface does? – Gary Leong Jan 11 '16 at 16:45
