This is an attribute error. There are no attribute as create_instance.

The attribute name is create_instances. Here is the error in your code.

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')
instance = ec2.create_instances(
    ImageId = 'ami-id',
    MinCount = 1,
    MaxCount = 1,
    InstanceType = 't2.micro',
    KeyName = 'nitesh',
    SubnetId = 'subnet-id')
print (instance[0].id)
