boto3 : AttributeError: 'EC2' object has no attribute 'create_instances'

client = boto3.client('ec2', 
        aws_access_key_id=key,
        aws_secret_access_key=secret,
        region_name='ap-southeast-1')


    response = client.create_instances(
        DryRun=True,
        ImageId=ami1,
        MinCount=1,
        MaxCount=1,
        KeyName='my-key',
        SecurityGroupIds=[sg1, sg2],
        InstanceType='m3.medium',
        Placement={
            'AvailabilityZone': 'ap-southeast-1a'
        },
        SubnetId=sb1,
        NetworkInterfaces=[
            {
                'NetworkInterfaceId': vpc1,
                'SubnetId': sb1,
                'Description': 'Description'
            }
        ]
    )
    print response

getting error while making api call to create instance, I have verified other operation like describe_images is working fine so keys are proper.

am I missing something ?

Have you tried using run_instances https://boto3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/services/ec2.html#EC2.Client.run_instances

EC2.Client does not provide create_instances, as the error message indicates.

Instead, it is EC2.ServiceResource that provides it, according to the boto3 documentation

You need to update the first instruction:

client = boto3.resource('ec2', 
    aws_access_key_id=key,
    aws_secret_access_key=secret,
    region_name='ap-southeast-1')
