» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • image_id - (Required) The Image to use for the instance. ECS instance's image can be replaced via changing 'image_id'. When it is changed, the instance will reboot to make the change take effect.
  • instance_type - (Required) The type of instance to start.
  • io_optimized - (Deprecated) It has been deprecated on instance resource. All the launched alicloud instances will be I/O optimized.
  • is_outdated - (Optional) Whether to use outdated instance type. Default to false.
  • security_groups - (Required) A list of security group ids to associate with.
  • availability_zone - (Optional) The Zone to start the instance in. It is ignored and will be computed when set vswitch_id.

This instance_name can have a string of 2 to 128 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens, such as "-",".","_", and must not begin or end with a hyphen, and must not begin with http:// or https://. If not specified, Terraform will autogenerate a default name is ECS-Instance.
