Create Amazon EC2 Instance with API

Question

Does com.amazonaws.services.ec2 contain a method to create a brand new EC2 instance from an existing AMI? I\'m looking to do this from the Java SDK, not the web management cons

Answer 1

 var launchRequest = new RunInstancesRequest()
                {
                    ImageId = amiID,
                    InstanceType = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AwsInstanceType"],
                    MinCount = 1,
                    MaxCount = 1,
                    KeyName = keyPairName,
                    SecurityGroupIds = groups,
                    SubnetId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AwsSubnetId"],

                };
                RunInstancesResponse runInstancesResponse = amazonEc2client.RunInstances(launchRequest);
                var InstanceId = runInstancesResponse.Reservation.Instances[0].InstanceId;
                var trequest = new CreateTagsRequest();
                trequest.Resources=new List(){InstanceId};
                List tags=new List();
                Tag tag=new Tag("Name","TestCodeFinal");
                tags.Add(tag);
                trequest.Tags = tags;
                amazonEc2client.CreateTags(trequest);
                Reservation reservation = runInstancesResponse.Reservation;
