You change the deployment set of an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance to move the instance to a different deployment set or add the instance to a deployment set. This topic describes how to change the deployment set of an instance.
Prerequisites
The instance whose deployment set you want to change is in the Running or Stopped state. For more information, see Start an instance and Stop an instance.
Procedure
Log on to the ECS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
In the upper-left corner of the top navigation bar, select a region.
Find the instance that you want to manage. In the Actions column, choose .
In the Change Deployment Set dialog box, select the destination deployment set and set the Force Change parameter.
Valid values of the Forced Change parameter:
Yes: allows the instance to be moved to a different host. A forced change of deployment sets may cause the instance to restart. Proceed with caution.
No: does not allow the instance to be moved to a different host. The instance remains on the current host, which may cause a failure to change the deployment set of the instance.
Click OK.
