GetInstanceConsoleOutput -

Usage notes

ECS is a virtualized cloud-based service and cannot be connected to display devices. However, Alibaba Cloud caches system command outputs for the last start, restart, or shutdown of ECS instances. You can call the GetInstanceConsoleOutput operation to obtain the command outputs.
The command outputs of instances that belong to retired instance types cannot be obtained. For more information, see Retired instance types.
The command outputs of Windows instances cannot be obtained.
