Creates an elasticity assurance.

Usage notes

Elasticity Assurance provides a new method to purchase and use resources with flexibility and assurance. It offers assured resource reservations for pay-as-you-go Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances. For more information, see Overview of Elasticity Assurance.

  • Elasticity assurances are not refundable after purchase.
  • Elasticity assurances are applicable to only pay-as-you-go ECS instances.
  • Elasticity assurances only support the unlimited mode. Therefore, you can set AssuranceTimes only to Unlimited. Elasticity assurances in unlimited mode can be applied an unlimited number of times within their effective duration. Elasticity assurances in unlimited mode take effect immediately after they are purchased.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
