How to create an instace in AWS ec2 through .net SDK

Question

I am trying to create an instance in AWS EC2 but the line

RunInstancesResponse launchResponse = ec2Client.RunInstances(launchRequest);

causes an exception:

AmazonEC2Client.RunInstances(RunInstanceRequest) is inaccessible due to it's protection level

Below is my code. I've tried using RunInstanceAsync instead but it also didn't work.

var launchRequest = new RunInstancesRequest()
{
    ImageId = amiID,
    InstanceType = "t2.micro",
    MinCount = 1,
    MaxCount = 1,
    KeyName = keyPairName,
    NetworkInterfaces = enis
};
        
RunInstancesResponse launchResponse = ec2Client.RunInstances(launchRequest);
       
List<String> instanceIds = new List<string>();
        
foreach (Instance instance in launchResponse.Reservation.Instances)
{
    Console.WriteLine(instance.InstanceId);
    instanceIds.Add(instance.InstanceId);
}

what version of the SDK are you using? And is your project Core or Framework? — Philip Pittle, Jul 02 '20 at 23:13

I think you are using the .NET Core version of the SDK. In .NET Core only the async operations are supported. So you need to call RunInstancesAsync.

Doesn't the question say that was already tried and did not work? – Rosco Jul 02 '20 at 23:43
