UpdateContainerGroup - Elastic Container Instance - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Updates an elastic container instance.

Operation description

Only elastic container instances that are in the Pending or Running state can be updated. After you call this operation to update an elastic container instance, the instance enters the Updating state.
If the RestartPolicy parameter is set to Never for the elastic container instance that you are updating, the containers of the instance may fail. Exercise caution if you want to update the kind of instances.

The elastic container instance contains both init and non-init containers, and you update only the non-init containers.
The elastic container instance contains init and non-init containers, and you update 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.

ImageRegistryCredentials

ImageRegistryCredential parameters support only the RenewUpdate update type.
If you only update ImageRegistryCredential parameters, and the new quantity for the ImageRegistryCredential parameters after the update is not greater than the original quantity, you do not need to restart the elastic container instance. Otherwise, you must restart the elastic container instance.

Note RenewUpdate: For a parameter of the list type, you must specify all the items contained in the parameter even if you want to update only some of the items. For a parameter of the struct type, you must specify all the members even if you want to update only some of the members.
