SPECIFIC OPTIONS

        -a, --architecture ARCHITECTURE
            The architecture of the image; either 'i386' or 'x86_64'. If not
            specified, 'i386' will be used.

        -b, --block-device-mapping MAPPING
            Defines a block device mapping for the image, in the form
            '<device>=<block-device>', where 'block-device' can be one of the
            following:

             - 'none': indicates that a block device that would be exposed at the
               specified device should be suppressed. For example: '/dev/sdb=none'

             - 'ephemeral[0-3]': indicates that the Amazon EC2 ephemeral store
               (instance local storage) should be exposed at the specified device.
               For example: '/dev/sdc=ephemeral0'.

             -
       '[<snapshot-id>][:<size>[:<delete-on-termination>][:<type>[:<iops>]][:encrypted]]':
       indicates
               that an Amazon EBS volume, created from the specified Amazon EBS
               snapshot, should be exposed at the specified device. The following
               combinations are supported:

                - '<snapshot-id>': the ID of an Amazon EBS snapshot, which must
                  be owned by the caller. May be left out if a <size> is
                  specified, creating an empty Amazon EBS volume of the specified
                  size.

                - '<size>': the size (GiBs) of the Amazon EBS volume to be
                  created. If a snapshot was specified, this may not be smaller
                  than the size of the snapshot itself.

                - '<delete-on-termination>': indicates whether the Amazon EBS
                  volume should be deleted on instance termination. If not
                  specified, this will default to 'true' and the volume will be
                  deleted.

                - '<type>': specifies the volume type. This can be either
                  'standard' or 'io1'. Defaults to standard.

                - '<iops>': The requested number of I/O operations per
                  second that the volume can support.

                - 'encrypted': Indicates that the volume should be encrypted.

               For example: '/dev/sdb=snap-7eb96d16'
                            '/dev/sdc=snap-7eb96d16:80:false'
                            '/dev/sdc=snap-7eb96d16:80:false:io1:100'
                            '/dev/sdd=:120'
                            '/dev/sdd=:120:encrypted'

            See the latest Developer's Guide for further information.

        -s, --snapshot SNAPSHOT
            The ID of the Amazon EBS snapshot to be used as the root device.
