+      # @option options [String] :description A description of the
+      #   new image.
+      #
+      # @option options [Boolean] :no_reboot By default this
+      #   option is set to +false+, which means Amazon EC2
+      #   attempts to cleanly shut down the instance before image
+      #   creation and reboots the instance afterwards. When the

+      #   the instance before creating the image. When this option
+      #   is used, file system integrity on the created image cannot
+      #   be guaranteed.
+      #

+      #   or +:root_device_name+

+      #   or +:root_device_name+
+      #
+      # @option options [String] :root_device_name The root device
+      #   name (e.g., /dev/sda1, or xvda).
+      #
+      # @option options [Hash] :block_device_mappings This must be a
+      #   hash; the keys are device names to map, and the value for

+      #     required.
+      #
