instance_idstringThe ID of the instance.

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

NameAccessible byRequired ParamsOptional ParamsDescription
describe_instance_credit_specificationsselectregionDryRun, Filter, InstanceId, MaxResults, NextTokenDescribes the credit option for CPU usage of the specified burstable performance instances. The credit options are standard and unlimited. If you do not specify an instance ID, Amazon EC2 returns burstable performance instances with the unlimited credit option, as well as instances that were previously configured as T2, T3, and T3a with the unlimited credit option. For example, if you resize a T2 instance, while it is configured as unlimited, to an M4 instance, Amazon EC2 returns the M4 instance. If you specify one or more instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns the credit option (standard or unlimited) of those instances. If you specify an instance ID that is not valid, such as an instance that is not a burstable performance instance, an error is returned. Recently terminated instances might appear in the returned results. This interval is usually less than one hour. If an Availability Zone is experiencing a service disruption and you specify instance IDs in the affected zone, or do not specify any instance IDs at all, the call fails. If you specify only instance IDs in an unaffected zone, the call works normally. For more information, see Burstable performance instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
modify_instance_credit_specificationupdateInstanceCreditSpecification, regionDryRun, ClientTokenModifies the credit option for CPU usage on a running or stopped burstable performance instance. The credit options are standard and unlimited. For more information, see Burstable performance instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

NameDatatypeDescription
InstanceCreditSpecificationarrayInformation about the credit option for CPU usage.
regionstringAWS region (default: us-east-1)
ClientTokenstringA unique, case-sensitive token that you provide to ensure idempotency of your modification request. For more information, see Ensuring Idempotency.
DryRunbooleanChecks whether you have the required permissions for the operation, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
FilterarrayThe filters. instance-id - The ID of the instance.
InstanceIdarrayThe instance IDs. Default: Describes all your instances. Constraints: Maximum 1000 explicitly specified instance IDs.
MaxResultsintegerThe maximum number of items to return for this request. To get the next page of items, make another request with the token returned in the output. For more information, see Pagination. You cannot specify this parameter and the instance IDs parameter in the same call.
NextTokenstringThe token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.
