AttachInstanceRamRole - Elastic Compute Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Attaches an instance Resource Access Management (RAM) role to Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances.

Operation description

You can call the DescribeInstanceRamRole operation to query the instance RAM roles that are attached to ECS instances.

Note If an ECS instance already has an instance RAM role, an error is returned when you attach another instance RAM role to the instance.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
