Is it possible to create an ec2 instance using boto3 in python? Boto3 document is not helping here, and I couldn't find any helping documents online. please provide some sample codes/links.

Answer 1

The API has changed but it's right there in the documentation

# Boto 3
ec2.create_instances(ImageId='<ami-image-id>', MinCount=1, MaxCount=5)
