Request Parameters Response Elements Errors Examples See Also

ModifyInstancePlacement

Modifies the placement attributes for a specified instance. You can do the following:

Modify the affinity between an instance and a Dedicated Host. When affinity is set to host and the instance is not associated with a specific Dedicated Host, the next time the instance is started, it is automatically associated with the host on which it lands. If the instance is restarted or rebooted, this relationship persists.
Change the Dedicated Host with which an instance is associated.
Change the instance tenancy of an instance.
Move an instance to or from a placement group.

At least one attribute for affinity, host ID, tenancy, or placement group name must be specified in the request. Affinity and tenancy can be modified in the same request.

To modify the host ID, tenancy, placement group, or partition for an instance, the instance must be in the stopped state.
