I have an EC2 instance snapshot, and I'd like to launch a new VM using it.

Can I use the AWS CLI (EC2 CLI) tools to launch a new instance? If so, can anyone share links/tutorials that describe the process?

You need to create an AMI from the snapshot of your root volume, for you to be able to launch an instance. This can be accomplished using the aws cli commands: register-image and run-instances. You can get an idea from here
