Description
Modifies the specified attribute of the specified instance. You can specify only one attribute at a time.
Note: Using this action to change the security groups associated with an elastic network interface (ENI) attached to an instance in a VPC can result in an error if the instance has more than one ENI. To change the security groups associated with an ENI attached to an instance that has multiple ENIs, we recommend that you use the ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute action.
To modify some attributes, the instance must be stopped. For more information, see Modifying Attributes of a Stopped Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

-Attribute <InstanceAttributeName>
The name of the attribute.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-BlockDeviceMapping <InstanceBlockDeviceMappingSpecification[]>
Modifies the
DeleteOnTermination attribute for volumes that are currently attached. The volume must be owned by the caller. If no value is specified for DeleteOnTermination, the default is true and the volume is deleted when the instance is terminated.To add instance store volumes to an Amazon EBS-backed instance, you must add them when you launch the instance. For more information, see Updating the Block Device Mapping when Launching an Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. | Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-DisableApiTermination <Boolean>
If the value is

| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-UserData <String>
Changes the instance's user data to the specified value. If you are using an AWS SDK or command line tool, base64-encoding is performed for you, and you can load the text from a file. Otherwise, you must provide base64-encoded text.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Value <String>
A new value for the attribute. Use only with the
kernel, ramdisk, userData, disableApiTermination, or instanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior attribute. | Required? | False |

Common Credential and Region Parameters
-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information,
and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileLocation <String>
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. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.
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.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing
credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential
file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also
specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with
the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.
Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the
configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the
user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.

| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-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. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Inputs
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the InstanceId parameter.
