Elastic Compute Service:CreateInstance

Last Updated:Sep 15, 2026

Creates a subscription or pay-as-you-go ECS instance. You can use this operation to configure various parameters based on your requirements to create a customized instance.

Operation description

Note

This operation is no longer being updated. We recommend that you use RunInstances.

Before you call this operation, make sure that you fully understand the billing methods and pricing of ECS.

This is an asynchronous operation. After a request to create an instance is sent, the instance ID is returned. The instance is not immediately created. Call DescribeInstanceStatus to query the instance status. When the returned status is Stopped, the instance is created. Then, you can call StartInstance to start the instance.

Before you begin

  • Creating an instance incurs charges. Make sure that you understand the billing methods of Elastic Compute Service. For more information, refer to Billing overview.

  • Make sure that the total number of instances or the total number of vCPUs across all instance types does not exceed the quota. For more information, refer to Quota Center.

  • Before creating a VPC-connected instance, create a VPC in the corresponding Alibaba Cloud region.

Precautions

  • When you invoke this operation, the system does not send notifications (including text messages, emails, and internal messages) about instance creation.

  • If the billing method of the instance is subscription (PrePaid), active coupon are used by default during payment.

  • If the instance memory is 512 MiB, you cannot use Windows Server images except through the half-year channel. If the instance memory is 4 GiB or more, you cannot use 32-bit operating system images.

  • Instances created by invoking this operation are not assigned Internet IP addresses. If the public bandwidth is greater than 0, you can invoke AllocatePublicIpAddress to assign an address. If the public bandwidth is 0, invoke ModifyInstanceNetworkSpec to adjust the bandwidth and then invoke AllocatePublicIpAddress to assign an address.

Note

In a single region, the total peak pay-by-bandwidth Internet bandwidth for a single Alibaba Cloud account is limited. For more information, refer to Public bandwidth limits.

Suggestions

  • Instance type selection: Refer to Instance family or invoke DescribeInstanceTypes to query the performance data of the target instance type. You can also refer to Best practices for instance type selection to learn how to select an instance type.

  • Check active resources: Invoke DescribeAvailableResource to query active resources in a specific region or zone.

  • User data: If the instance meets the requirements for instance user data, you can pass in UserData. The UserData data is not encrypted when the API request is sent. Do not send confidential information such as passwords or private keys in plaintext. If you must pass in such information, encrypt it and encode it in Base64 before passing it in. Then, decrypt it inside the instance.

Try it now

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

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.
