Queries available resources within a zone when you upgrade or downgrade instance types or system disks.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes DescribeResourcesModification

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to DescribeResourcesModification.

RegionId String Yes cn-hangzhou

The ID of the target region. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

ResourceId String Yes i-bp67acfmxazb4p****

The ID of the resource. For example, when DestinationResource is set to InstanceType, this parameter can be interpreted as InstanceId.

MigrateAcrossZone Boolean No true

Specifies whether instance types can be upgraded across clusters. Valid values:

  • true
  • false

Default value: false.

When the MigrateAcrossZone parameter is set to true and you upgrade the ECS instance based on the returned information, take note of the following items:

  • Classic network-type instances:
    • For phased-out instance types, when a non-I/O-optimized instance is upgraded to an I/O-optimized instance, the private IP address, cloud disk device names, and software license codes of the instance are changed. For Linux instances, basic disks (cloud) are identified by the prefix xvd. Ultra disks (cloud_efficiency) and standard SSDs (cloud_ssd) are identified by the prefix vd.
    • For instance families available for purchase, when the instance type of an instance is changed, the private IP address of the instance is also changed.
  • VPC-type instances: For phased-out instance types, when a non-I/O-optimized instance is upgraded to an I/O-optimized instance, the cloud disk device names and software license codes of the instance are changed. For Linux instances, basic disks (cloud) are identified by the prefix xvd. Ultra disks (cloud_efficiency) and standard SSDs (cloud_ssd) are identified by the prefix vd.
DestinationResource String Yes InstanceType

The type of the target resource. Valid values:

  • InstanceType
  • SystemDisk
OperationType String No Upgrade

The operation to modify resource configurations.

  • Valid values for subscription resources:
    • Upgrade
    • Downgrade
    • RenewDowngrade
    • RenewModify
  • Valid values for pay-as-you-go resources: Upgrade

Default value: Upgrade.
InstanceType String No ecs.g5.large

The instance type. For more information, see Instance families or call the DescribeInstanceTypes operation to query the most recent instance type list. When the DestinationResource parameter is set to SystemDisk, you must specify this parameter.

Cores Integer No 2

The number of vCPU cores of the instance type. For more information, see Instance families. This parameter is valid only when DestinationResource is set to InstanceType.

Memory Float No 8.0

The memory size of the instance type. Unit: GiB. For more information, see Instance families. This parameter is valid only when DestinationResource is set to InstanceType.
