You have an EC2 instance (i-01234567890123456) in production that has a software issue. To troubleshoot the issue, you need to take an AMI from the instance using AWS CLI. When the image is being created, the instance must not be rebooted. Otherwise, some running scripts will be interrupted. Which of the following AWS CLI commands would you use?

Answer options:

A.aws ec2 create-image \
--instance-id i-01234567890123456 \
--name "My_Image" \
--reboot
B.aws ec2 create-image \
--instance-id i-01234567890123456 \
--name "My_Image" \
--no-reboot
C.aws ec2 create-image \
--instance-id i-01234567890123456 \
--name "My_Image" \
--no-dry-run
D.aws ec2 create-image \
--instance-id i-01234567890123456 \
--name "My_Image"

Correct Answer: B
Option A is incorrect because, with the “--reboot” option, Amazon EC2 will shut down and reboot the instance when taking the image.
Option B is CORRECT because the “--no-reboot” option ensures that the EC2 instance does not reboot during image creation.
Option C is incorrect because the “--no-dry-run” option is a boolean attribute to control whether the operation is executed or not. It does not avoid rebooting the instance.
Option D is incorrect because when no option is provided, the EC2 will reboot the instance while creating the image. This behavior is not as expected.
