EbsInstanceBlockDevice has invalid status field

Open sallaigy opened this issue 4 weeks ago • 1 comments

Hey,

According to the docs, the possible valid value for the status field in EbsInstanceBlockDevice is one of attaching | attached | detaching | detached.

Using describe_instances in Moto (v5.1.18) returns in-use for the EBS status field:

with moto.mock_aws():  
    import boto3  
    client = boto3.client('ec2')  
    vpc_response = client.create_vpc(CidrBlock="10.0.0.0/16")  
    vpc_id = vpc_response["Vpc"]["VpcId"]  
  
    subnet_response = client.create_subnet(VpcId=vpc_id, CidrBlock="10.0.0.0/24")  
    subnet_id = subnet_response["Subnet"]["SubnetId"]
  
    instances_response = client.run_instances(  
        ImageId='ami-00000000',  
        MinCount=2,  
        MaxCount=2,  
        InstanceType='t2.micro',  
        SubnetId=subnet_id  
    ) 
  
    response = client.describe_instances()  
    for reservation in response['Reservations']:  
        for instance in reservation['Instances']: 
            # This will print `in-use`, instead of `attached`
            print(instance['BlockDeviceMappings'][0]['Ebs']['Status'])

Seems like in-use is only valid for the Volume response.
