List AMI using boto3 in order by time creation day?

I'm using boto3 API to describe_image from AWS. My list AMI has the same name, AWS automatically generate suffix on that name. I wonder is there any option to describe_image in creation time order list. Currently I have to sort programmatically on that return dict.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • No. There is no capability to request the data back in a particular order.

    You can use a Filter to limit the results, but not to sort the results.

    You would need to programmatically sort the results to identify your desired AMI.
