RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

MaxResults	integer	The maximum number of entries per page.	50
TotalCount	integer	The total number of instance refresh tasks.	100
InstanceRefreshTasks	array<object>	The list of instance refresh tasks.
	array<object>	The instance refresh task.
ScalingGroupId	string	The ID of the scaling group.	asg-bp16pbfcr8j9*****
InstanceRefreshTaskId	string	The ID of the instance refresh task.	ir-1adfa123****
RegionId	string	The region ID of the scaling group.	cn-hangzhou
EndTime	string	The end time of the instance refresh task.	2024-08-22T02:09:00Z
StartTime	string	The start time of the instance refresh task.	2024-08-22T01:09:00Z
Status	string	The current status of the instance refresh task. Valid values: Pending: The instance refresh task is created and waiting to be scheduled. InProgress: The instance refresh task is in progress. Paused: The instance refresh task is paused. CheckpointPause: The instance refresh task is paused because the task progress reached a checkpoint (`Checkpoint.Percentage`). Failed: The instance refresh task failed. Successful: The instance refresh task succeeded. Cancelling: The instance refresh task is being cancelled. Cancelled: The instance refresh task is cancelled. RollbackInProgress: The instance refresh task is being rolled back. RollbackSuccessful: The instance refresh task is rolled back. RollbackFailed: The rollback of the instance refresh task failed.	InProgress
Detail	string	The failure reason when the instance refresh task fails.	The task exceeded its maximum run time of one week. So the task failed.
MinHealthyPercentage	integer	The minimum percentage of instances that must remain in service in the scaling group during the instance refresh.	80
MaxHealthyPercentage	integer	The maximum percentage by which the number of instances in the scaling group can exceed the scaling group capacity during the instance refresh.	120
DesiredConfiguration	object	The desired configuration for the instance refresh.
ImageId	string	The ID of the image file used for automatic creation of instances.	m-uf6g5noisr****
ScalingConfigurationId	string	The ID of the scaling configuration.	asc-wz91ibkhfor****
LaunchTemplateId	string	The ID of the launch template from which the scaling group obtains launch configuration information.	lt-2ze5x4mp*****
LaunchTemplateVersion	string	The version of the launch template. Valid values: A fixed template version number. Default: always uses the default version of the template. Latest: always uses the latest version of the template.	Latest
LaunchTemplateOverrides	array<object>	The instance type information that overrides the launch template.

FinishedUpdateCapacity	integer	The capacity that has been refreshed.	10
TotalNeedUpdateCapacity	integer	The total capacity that needs to be refreshed.	20
SkipMatching	boolean	Indicates whether instances that already match the desired configuration are skipped. Note The system determines whether an instance matches based on the ID of the desired scaling configuration, not by comparing individual configuration items. Valid values: true: Skipped. When the instance refresh task starts, the system checks the configuration of each instance. Instances that were already created with the desired configuration are not refreshed. false: Not skipped. After the instance refresh task starts, all instances in the scaling group are refreshed.	true
