Elastic Compute Service:StopInstances

Last Updated:Mar 19, 2024

Stops Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances. After the operation is called, the state of the instances changes to Stopping and then to Stopped.

Operation description

  • If the response contains {"OperationLocks": {"LockReason" : "security"}} for an instance, the instance is locked for security reasons. No operations are allowed on the instance.
  • After you enable the economical mode for a pay-as-you-go instance that resided in a virtual private cloud (VPC), you can set StoppedMode to KeepCharging. Then, the pay-as-you-go instance continues to be billed after it is stopped. The instance type resources and public IP address are reserved for the instance.
  • Batch operations are supported. You can use BatchOptimization to specify the batch operation mode.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

There is currently no authorization information disclosed in the API.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
DryRunbooleanNo

Specifies whether to perform only a dry run, without performing the actual request. Valid values:

  • true: performs a dry run. The system checks the request for potential issues, including required parameters, request syntax, and instance status. If the request passes the dry run, DRYRUN.SUCCESS is returned. Otherwise, an error message is returned.
Note If you set BatchOptimization to SuccessFirst and DryRun to true, only DRYRUN.SUCCESS is returned regardless of whether the request passes the dry run.
  • false: performs a dry run and performs the actual request.

Default value: false.

false
RegionIdstringYes

The region ID of the instance. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

cn-hangzhou
ForceStopbooleanNo

Specifies whether to stop the instance in a forceful manner. Valid values:

  • true: stops the instance in a forceful manner. This operation is equivalent to the power-off operation in common scenarios. Cache data that is not written to storage in the instance will be lost.
  • false: stops the instance in a normal manner.

Default value: false.

false
StoppedModestringNo

The stop mode of the pay-as-you-go instance. Valid values:

  • StopCharging: economical mode. For information about how StopCharging takes effect, see the "Prerequisites" section in Economical mode.
  • KeepCharging: standard mode. After the instance is stopped in standard mode, you continue to be charged for it.

Default value: If the prerequisites required for enabling economical mode are met and you have enabled the mode in the ECS console, the default value is StopCharging . For more information, see the "Enable economical mode" section in Economical mode. Otherwise, the default value is KeepCharging.

KeepCharging
BatchOptimizationstringNo

The batch operation mode. Valid values:

  • AllTogether: In this mode, if all instances are stopped, a success message is returned. If an instance fails the verification, all instances fail to stop and an error message is returned.
  • SuccessFirst: In this mode, each instance is separately stopped. The response contains the operation results for each instance.

Default value: AllTogether.

AllTogether
InstanceIdarrayYes

The IDs of instances.

stringYes

The ID of instance N. Valid values of N: 1 to 100.
