ModifyInstanceAttribute

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

The ID of the instance.

The password of the instance. The password must be 8 to 30 characters in length and contain at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. Special characters include:

()`~!@#$%^&*-_+=|{}[]:;'<>,.?/
                                

For Windows instances, the password cannot start with a forward slash (/).

The hostname of the instance. Take note of the following items:

• When you modify the hostname of an instance, the instance must not be in the Creating (Pending) or Starting (Starting) state. Otherwise, the new hostname and the configurations in /etc/hosts cannot take effect. You can call the DescribeInstances operation to query the state of the instance.
• After the hostname is modified, you must call the RebootInstance operation for the new hostname to take effect.

The following limits apply to the hostnames of instances that run different operating systems:

• For Windows Server, the hostname must be 2 to 15 characters in length and can contain letters, digits, and hyphens (-). It cannot start or end with a hyphen (-), contain consecutive hyphens (-), or contain only digits.
• For other operating systems such as Linux, the hostname must be 2 to 64 characters in length. You can use periods (.) to separate a hostname into multiple segments. Each segment can contain letters, digits, and hyphens (-). The hostname cannot contain consecutive periods (.) or hyphens (-). It cannot start or end with a period (.) or a hyphen (-).

The name of the instance. The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length. It must start with a letter and cannot start with http:// or https://. It can contain letters, digits, colons (:), underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

The description of the instance. The description must be 2 to 256 characters in length and cannot start with http:// or https://.

This parameter is empty by default.

The user data of the instance. User data must be encoded in Base64.

The size of the user data must be no greater than 16 KB before it is encoded in Base64. We recommend that you do not pass in confidential information such as passwords and private keys in the plaintext format. If you must pass in confidential information, we recommend that you encrypt and Base64-encode the information before you pass it in. Then you can decode and decrypt the information in the same way within the instance.

The performance mode of the burstable instance. Valid values:

• Standard: standard mode
• Unlimited: unlimited mode

For more information about the performance modes of burstable instances, see Burstable instances.

The release protection attribute of the instance. This parameter specifies whether you can use the ECS console or call the DeleteInstance operation to release the instance.

The number of queues supported by the primary ENI.

The IDs of replacement security groups.

• All security group IDs must be unique.
• The instance is moved from the current security groups to the replacement security groups. If you want the instance to remain in the current security groups, you must add the IDs of the current security groups to the list.
• You can move the instance to security groups of a different type. However, the list cannot contain the IDs of both basic and advanced security groups.
• The specified security group and instance must belong to the same virtual private cloud (VPC).
• The valid values of N are based on the maximum number of security groups to which the instance can belong. For more information, see Limits.
• New security groups become valid for corresponding instances after a short latency.

The ID of the request.
