DescribeInstanceTypes

Description

Before you call this operation, take note of the following items:

• We recommend that you set the MaxResults and NextToken parameters for paginated queries. When you call the DescribeInstanceTypes operation to retrieve a set of results, set MaxResults to specify the maximum number of results to return in a single page for this call. If the number of results exceeds the specified MaxResults value, a NextToken is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved. In a subsequent call, use the NextToken value returned in the previous response as the value of the NextToken parameter and set MaxResults to retrieve the next set of results.
• The DescribeInstanceTypes operation is used to query only the specifications and performance information of instance types. To query instance types that are available in a region, call the DescribeAvailableResource operation.
• To use special instance types such as instance types that are unavailable for purchase, submit a ticket.
