Hi , I am new to pulumi and wanted to create an aws AMI From Instance using this code:

const backup = new aws.ec2.AmiFromInstance(`try-AMI`,{
  sourceInstanceId : 'i-0000000000',
  description:`AMI from instance`, 
  snapshotWithoutReboot:1
 
})
 
// Export the name of the bucket
exports.backupName = backup.name;
exports.backupId = backup.id;
 
exports.backupArn = backup.arn;

I got this error :

error: update failed

 aws:ec2:AmiFromInstance (try-AMI -1892022115):
   error: 1 error occurred:
       * error creating EC2 AMI try-AMI -1892022115-a6bdcdd) from EC2 Instance ('i-0000000000'): InvalidInstanceID.NotFound: The instance ID 'i-0000000000'' does not exist
       status code: 400, request id: c8ef283f-2cec-4e95-8439-d03cd3369c9b

in the aws managment console, I see the instance (running) , can anybody help me please ? thank you.

Probably the first thing I would check is if I can see instances with AWS CLI

aws ec2 describe-instances

As it could be, your default region is different and that’s why you are not able to see instances. You can try to set the region in pulumi. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/config/

That was the issue, Thank you.
