    ENS:CreateInstance

    Last Updated:Dec 25, 2024

    Creates an instance.

    Operation description

    • You can call this operation up to 10 times per second per account.
    • We recommend that you increase the request time because instance creation is an asynchronous operation. If the return code of the API operation is 0, it indicates that the request is successful, but does not indicate that the instance is created. If the request is successful, an instance ID is returned. You can check whether the instance is created based on the instance ID.
    • InvalidUserData.NotInWhiteList operation restriction: You can create an instance only if you are in the whitelist in which members have the purchase permissions. Otherwise, an error is returned.

    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.

    Authorization information

    The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

    • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
    • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
    • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
      • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
      • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
    • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
    • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

We recommend that you do not pass in confidential information such as passwords and private keys in plaintext. If you want to provide sensitive data such as passwords and private keys, encrypt the data and then encode it in Base64. The data is decrypted on the instance in the way it is encrypted.
