Launch an instance in a host resource group in License Manager - AWS License Manager

Launch an instance in a host resource group in License Manager

When you launch an instance, you can specify a host resource group. The launch requirements depend on the host resource group's instance launch option:

  • License configuration required – You must associate one or more core- or socket-based self-managed licenses with the AMI that match the license configurations configured in the host resource group, or provide the license configurations in the instance launch request.

  • License configuration not required – You can launch with any AMI. You do not need to set up a license configuration.

For example, you can use the following run-instances command.

aws ec2 run-instances --min-count 2 --max-count 2 \
--instance-type c5.2xlarge --image-id ami-0abcdef1234567890 \
--placement="Tenancy=host,HostResourceGroupArn=arn"

You can also use the Amazon EC2 console. For more information, see Launching Instances into a host resource group in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
