instance_uefi_datas

Creates, updates, deletes, gets or lists an instance_uefi_datas resource.

Overview

Name	instance_uefi_datas
Type	Resource
Id	aws.ec2.instance_uefi_datas

Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

get_instance_uefi_data

Name	Datatype	Description
instance_id	string	The ID of the instance from which to retrieve the UEFI data.
uefi_data	string	Base64 representation of the non-volatile UEFI variable store.

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
get_instance_uefi_data	select	InstanceId, region	DryRun	A binary representation of the UEFI variable store. Only non-volatile variables are stored. This is a base64 encoded and zlib compressed binary value that must be properly encoded. When you use register-image to create an AMI, you can create an exact copy of your variable store by passing the UEFI data in the UefiData parameter. You can modify the UEFI data by using the python-uefivars tool on GitHub. You can use the tool to convert the UEFI data into a human-readable format (JSON), which you can inspect and modify, and then convert back into the binary format to use with register-image. For more information, see UEFI Secure Boot in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

Name	Datatype	Description
InstanceId	string	The ID of the instance from which to retrieve the UEFI data.
region	string	AWS region (default: us-east-1)
DryRun	boolean	Checks whether you have the required permissions for the operation, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
