"Network interfaces and an instance-level subnet ID may not be specified on the same request"

the new --associate-public-ip-address introduced in #479 doesn't seem to work for VPC instances

the error is noted in the title above

As he states as below:

Luckily, my company has premium AWS support and a quick 10 minute chat got the answer I needed. You must use the --network-attachment param, which takes the place of --group, --private-ip-address, and --subnet

The resulting command looks like this:

ec2-run-instances ami-abc123
--network-attachment :0:subnet-abc123::10.0.1.10:sg-abc123::
.... your other params

Good luck, I hope this helps!

The comment above from @JPalmerGithub applies to the legacy EC2 CLI tool, not AWS CLI.

The specific issue with using --associate-public-ip-address and the --subnet-id option together should have been fixed in #502. Are you using the latest version of the AWS CLI software?

just confirmed it works as expected with 1.2.6 (I was running 1.2.5). Thanks!

This problem has reappeared. I just upgraded from 1.3.2 to 1.3.21 and both manifest this problem.

These are the parameters I am passing in to run-instances.

['--key-name',
 '--image-id',
 '--security-groups',
 '--user-data',
 '--instance-type',
 '--subnet-id',
 '--block-device-mappings',
 '--associate-public-ip-address']

I'm also running into this issue on 1.5.3
