This topic describes the API behavior when your resource is locked due to security concerns.
API behavior
When OperationLocks
in the response returned for an instance by the DescribeInstances operation contains LockReason: security
, the instance is locked for security reasons.
Note If a disk on the instance is in the
In_use
state, the behavior of API operations related to the disk is subject to the OperationLocks
settings of the instance. If the disk is in another state, the OperationLocks
settings can be ignored.
In the following table, Normal logic indicates that the operation is called and the result is returned.
