Elastic Compute Service:ModifyInstanceSpec

Last Updated:Mar 19, 2024

Changes the instance type and public bandwidth of a pay-as-you-go Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.

Operation description

For information about how to use ECS SDK for Python to change resource configurations, see Query available resources for configuration changes.

Take note of the following items:

  • Make sure that you have no overdue payments in your account.

  • You can modify the public bandwidth of an instance only when the instance is in the Running (Running) or Stopped (Stopped) state.

  • Before you change the instance type of a pay-as-you-go instance, you can call the DescribeResourcesModification operation to query the instance types to which you can change.

  • You can change the instance type of an instance only when the instance is in the Stopped (Stopped) state.

  • The instance type and the public bandwidth of an instance cannot be changed together.

  • As of November 27, 2020, the maximum bandwidth value available for you to create ECS instances or to change ECS instance configurations is subject to the throttling policy specified for your account. To increase the maximum bandwidth value, submit a ticket. The following throttling policies apply:

    • Within a single region, the sum of actual maximum bandwidths of all ECS instances that use the pay-by-traffic billing method for network usage cannot exceed 5 Gbit/s.
    • Within a single region, the sum of actual maximum bandwidths of all ECS instances that use the pay-by-bandwidth billing method for network usage cannot exceed 50 Gbit/s.

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
InstanceIdstringYes

The ID of the instance.

i-bp67acfmxazb4p****
InstanceTypestringNo

The new instance type. For more information, see Overview of instance families or call the DescribeInstanceTypes operation to query the most recent list of instance types.

ecs.g6.large
InternetMaxBandwidthOutintegerNo

The maximum outbound public bandwidth. Unit: Mbit/s. Valid values: 0 to 100.

Note When the pay-by-traffic billing method for network usage is used, the maximum inbound and outbound bandwidths are used as the upper limits of bandwidths instead of guaranteed performance specifications. In scenarios where demand outstrips resource supplies, these maximum bandwidth values may not be reached. If you want guaranteed bandwidths for your instance, use the pay-by-bandwidth billing method for network usage.
10
InternetMaxBandwidthInintegerNo

The maximum inbound public bandwidth. Unit: Mbit/s. Valid values:

  • When the purchased outbound public bandwidth is less than or equal to 10 Mbit/s, the valid value of this parameter ranges from 1 to 10 and the default value is 10.
  • When the purchased outbound public bandwidth is greater than 10 Mbit/s, the valid values of this parameter are 1 to the InternetMaxBandwidthOut value and the default value is the InternetMaxBandwidthOut value.
Note When the pay-by-traffic billing method for network usage is used, the maximum inbound and outbound bandwidths are used as the upper limits of bandwidths instead of guaranteed performance specifications. In scenarios where demand outstrips resource supplies, these maximum bandwidth values may not be reached. If you want guaranteed bandwidths for your instance, use the pay-by-bandwidth billing method for network usage.

0
AsyncbooleanNo

Specifies whether to submit an asynchronous request.

Default value: false.

false
AllowMigrateAcrossZonebooleanNo

Specifies whether to support cross-cluster instance type upgrades.

Default value: false.

When AllowMigrateAcrossZone is set to true and you upgrade the instance configurations based on the returned information, take note of the following items:

Instances of the classic network type:

  • For retired instance types, the private IP address, disk device names, and software authorization codes of a non-I/O optimized instance change when you upgrade the instance to an I/O optimized instance. For Linux instances, basic disks (cloud) are identified by the prefix xvd such as xvda and xvdb. Ultra disks (cloud_efficiency) and standard SSDs (cloud_ssd) are identified by the prefix vd such as vda and vdb.
  • For instance families that are available for purchase, when the instance type of an instance is changed, the private IP address of the instance is also changed. For more information, see Overview of instance families.

Instances of the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) type: For retired instance types, if a non-I/O-optimized instance is upgraded to an I/O-optimized instance, the disk device names and software authorization codes of the instance change. For Linux instances, basic disks (cloud) are identified by the prefix xvd such as xvda and xvdb. Ultra disks (cloud_efficiency) and standard SSDs (cloud_ssd) are identified by the prefix vd such as vda and vdb.

false
SystemDisk.CategorystringNo

The new category of the system disk. This parameter is valid only when you upgrade an instance from a retired instance type to an available instance type or when you upgrade a non-I/O optimized instance to an I/O optimized instance. For more information, see Retired instance types and Overview of instance families. Valid values:

  • cloud_efficiency: ultra disk.
  • cloud_ssd: standard SSD.
cloud_ssd
ClientTokenstringNo

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How to ensure idempotence.
