createEnvironmentHost

Creates an ESXi host and adds it to an Amazon EVS environment. Amazon EVS supports 4-16 hosts per environment.

This action can only be used after the Amazon EVS environment is deployed. All Amazon EVS hosts are created with the latest AMI release version for the respective VCF version of the environment.

You can use the dedicatedHostId parameter to specify an Amazon EC2 Dedicated Host for ESXi host creation.

You can use the placementGroupId parameter to specify a cluster or partition placement group to launch EC2 instances into.

You cannot use the dedicatedHostId and placementGroupId parameters together in the same CreateEnvironmentHost action. This results in a ValidationException response.

EC2 instances created through Amazon EVS do not support associating an IAM instance profile.
