Description

Updates a specified instance. Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have a Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see Managing User Permissions.

Parameters

-AgentVersion <String>
The default AWS OpsWorks Stacks agent version. You have the following options:
  • INHERIT - Use the stack's default agent version setting.
  • version_number - Use the specified agent version. This value overrides the stack's default setting. To update the agent version, you must edit the instance configuration and specify a new version. AWS OpsWorks Stacks then automatically installs that version on the instance.
The default setting is INHERIT. To specify an agent version, you must use the complete version number, not the abbreviated number shown on the console. For a list of available agent version numbers, call DescribeAgentVersions.AgentVersion cannot be set to Chef 12.2.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-AmiId <String>
The ID of the AMI that was used to create the instance. The value of this parameter must be the same AMI ID that the instance is already using. You cannot apply a new AMI to an instance by running UpdateInstance. UpdateInstance does not work on instances that are using custom AMIs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Architecture <Architecture>
The instance architecture. Instance types do not necessarily support both architectures. For a list of the architectures that are supported by the different instance types, see Instance Families and Types.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-AutoScalingType <AutoScalingType>
For load-based or time-based instances, the type. Windows stacks can use only time-based instances.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonOpsWorksConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.OPS.AmazonOpsWorksClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False

-EbsOptimized <Boolean>
This property cannot be updated.
Required?False

-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Hostname <String>
The instance host name.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-InstallUpdatesOnBoot <Boolean>
Whether to install operating system and package updates when the instance boots. The default value is true. To control when updates are installed, set this value to false. You must then update your instances manually by using CreateDeployment to run the update_dependencies stack command or by manually running yum (Amazon Linux) or apt-get (Ubuntu) on the instances. We strongly recommend using the default value of true, to ensure that your instances have the latest security updates.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-InstanceId <String>
The instance ID.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-InstanceType <String>
The instance type, such as t2.micro. For a list of supported instance types, open the stack in the console, choose Instances, and choose + Instance. The Size list contains the currently supported types. For more information, see Instance Families and Types. The parameter values that you use to specify the various types are in the API Name column of the Available Instance Types table.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-LayerId <String[]>
The instance's layer IDs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

-Os <String>
The instance's operating system, which must be set to one of the following. You cannot update an instance that is using a custom AMI.
  • A supported Linux operating system: An Amazon Linux version, such as Amazon Linux 2018.03, Amazon Linux 2017.09, Amazon Linux 2017.03, Amazon Linux 2016.09, Amazon Linux 2016.03, Amazon Linux 2015.09, or Amazon Linux 2015.03.

For more information about supported operating systems, see AWS OpsWorks Stacks Operating Systems.The default option is the current Amazon Linux version. If you set this parameter to Custom, you must use the AmiId parameter to specify the custom AMI that you want to use. For more information about supported operating systems, see Operating Systems. For more information about how to use custom AMIs with OpsWorks, see Using Custom AMIs.You can specify a different Linux operating system for the updated stack, but you cannot change from Linux to Windows or Windows to Linux.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage.

Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
