<s>[INST] # Lists Comprehensions: Create ec2 images of templated virtual machines. 

We'll go through two examples using python.

**Example 1:** List Comprehensions to created EC2 images for templated Vms.

```python
# Define root image environmental variables
root_image_regions = ['us-east-1', 'us-west-2', 'eu-west-1']
root_image_name = 'TemplateName{{ region }}'
root_image_new_name = f'{root_image_name}.auto-updated'

# Define create regions in other accounts where we'll make images
create_regions = ['us-east-2', 'us-west-1', 'eu-central-1']

# Dictionary where region states will be saved once image exists
image_dict = {}

# Comprehension to create images in target regions with base and target image
image_dict = {
    region : {
         "SourceRegionName": region, 
         "SourceImageName": root_image_name.replace("{{ region }}", region),
         'TargetRegions': [x for x in create_regions if x not in root_image_regions],
         'TargetImageName': root_image_new_name.replace("{{ region }}", region)
        }
        for region
        in create_regions 
}
```

This example provides a dictionary list comprehension where we iterate through a region, then check if that region isn't is in the `root_image_regions`.  If it's not we update the Can we suggest improvements for this code and also propose replacements?[/INST]
