Can I create EC2 instances asynchronously

Question

I'm using boto3 to create aws ec2 instances.

ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2', region_name='us-east-1')
ec2.create_instances(..)

can't find async options. Can someone help as how can I do that?

Unfortunately there is no legit async function for that in the API. You can do an async call in another thread, there is multiple ways to do this in python. There is an unofficial Async AWS python SDK aioboto3. It does not contain your API call today but you can contribute if you like.
