What is the difference between run-instance and create-instance

Question

Please help me with the difference between run-instance and create-instance in aws.

Answer 1

These two are the services for AWS, in AWS CLI both are used to get the access of instance.

run-instances is used for creating EC2 instance. create-instance is used in AWS OpsWorks, to create an instance in OpsWorks stack. 

You can find more about each of them in their documentation:

create-instance 

run-instance ​
