Parameter description

Cpu and Memory parameters
  • By default, Elastic Container Instance calculates the vCPU and memory specifications of the elastic container instance based on the container specifications.
Container and InitContainer parameters

Container and InitContainer parameters supports only full updates. After you update InitContainer parameters, you must restart the elastic container instance.

You can update the containers of an elastic container instance in one of the following ways:

  • The elastic container instance contains both init and non-init containers, and you update only the init containers.
  • The elastic container instance contains both init and non-init containers, and you update only the non-init containers.
  • The elastic container instance contains both init and non-init containers, and you update both the init and non-init containers.
  • The elastic container instance contains only non-init containers, and you update these non-init containers.
  • The elastic container instance contains only non-init containers, and you add init containers.
  • The elastic container instance contains only non-init containers, and you add init containers and update the non-init containers.
Volume-related parameters

You must meet the same requirements when you update volume-related parameters as when you create elastic container instances.

  • Volume-related parameters support only full updates.
  • After you update volume-related parameters, you must restart the elastic container instance.
    Note Volumes are mounted to specific containers by volume name. When you update volumes, you can update only basic attributes of the volumes. To make other changes, such as adding, removing, or renaming volumes, we recommend that you update the containers at the same time.
ImageRegistryCredential parameters
  • ImageRegistryCredential parameters support only full updates.
  • If only ImageRegistryCredential parameters are updated and the post-update number of ImageRegistryCredential parameters is not greater than the pre-update number, you do not need to restart the elastic container instance. In other cases, you must restart the instance.
Tag parameters
  • Tag parameters support only full updates.
  • After you update Tag parameters, you do not need to restart the elastic container instance.
DnsConfig parameters
  • DnsConfig parameters support only full updates.
  • After you update DnsConfig parameters, you must restart the elastic container instance.
Note Full update: For a parameter of the List type, you must specify all the items contained in the parameter value even if you want to update only some of the items. For a struct, you must specify all the members of the struct event if you want to update only some of the members.
