# run command
aws ec2 run-instances --generate-cli-skeleton > inputFile.json

# Update / modify inputFile.json, then DRY RUN to verify
vi inputFile.json
    "DryRun": true      # do not create the ec2 instance, verify syntax only
                        # "DryRun": false   <-- It will create the ec2 instance

# Create ec2 instance using the inputFile.json
aws ec2 run-instances  --cli-input-json file://inputFile.json
