Operation

modify_hosts async

modify_hosts(input: ModifyHostsInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> ModifyHostsOutput

Modify the auto-placement setting of a Dedicated Host. When auto-placement is enabled, any instances that you launch with a tenancy of host but without a specific host ID are placed onto any available Dedicated Host in your account that has auto-placement enabled. When auto-placement is disabled, you need to provide a host ID to have the instance launch onto a specific host. If no host ID is provided, the instance is launched onto a suitable host with auto-placement enabled.

You can also use this API action to modify a Dedicated Host to support either multiple instance types in an instance family, or to support a specific instance type only.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input ModifyHostsInput

An instance of ModifyHostsInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
ModifyHostsOutput

An instance of ModifyHostsOutput.
