The description of the image.

--no-reboot
If specified, the instance will not be rebooted during the bundle
process.

-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'
