Creates one or more Pay-As-You-Go or Subscription ECS instances.

Description

Before creating an instance, you can call the DescribeAvailableResource action to view the available resources in the specified region or zone.

You must fully understand the ECS billing methods before you create an instance, because resource billing is involved when creating instances. For more information, see Billing overview.

When you call this action, note that:

  • You can create a maximum of 100 instances at a time.
  • You can use the AutoReleaseTime parameter to set the automatic release time of the instance.
  • After the instance is created, you can call the DescribeInstances action to check the status of the new instance.
  • Before creating an instance, make sure you have created a security group. For more information, see CreateSecurityGroup.
  • An instance is enabled automatically after it is created. It is ready to use when it is in the Running state.
  • Before creating a VPC-based instance, you must create a VPC in the same region.
  • Unlike CreateInstance, when you call RunInstances to create an instance, a public IP address is configured for it if the value of InternetMaxBandwidthOut is greater than 0.
  • After you submit the instance creation task, an error is returned if the parameters are invalid or no resources are available. For more information, see Error codes.

Best practice

RunInstances can be called to create multiple instances at a time. For the sake of future management and retrieval, we recommend that you specify the Tag.N.Key and Tag.N.Value tags for instances created in each batch creation task. For their HostName and InstanceName values, we recommend that you add UniqueSuffix.

An instance launch template allows you to automatically set configuration parameters that are used each time you create a new instance. You can all the CreateLaunchTemplate action to create an instance launch template. After that, you can specify RunInstances and LaunchTemplateId in LaunchTemplateVersion to enable this template.

You can use the ECS console to obtain RunInstances best practices when creating an ECS instance. When you confirm the order, in the API Workflow pane at the left side, the APIs and request parameters that can be associated with RunInstances are listed. At the right side, the programming language-specific examples are provided. Java and Python examples are available.

Debugging

You can use API Explorer to perform debugging. API Explorer allows you to perform various operations to simplify API usage. For example, you can retrieve APIs, call APIs, and dynamically generate SDK example code.
