Syntax

Edit-EC2InstancePlacement
-InstanceId <String>
-Affinity <Affinity>
-GroupName <String>
-HostId <String>
-HostResourceGroupArn <String>
-PartitionNumber <Int32>
-Tenancy <HostTenancy>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>

Description

Modifies the placement attributes for a specified instance. You can do the following:
  • Modify the affinity between an instance and a Dedicated Host. When affinity is set to host and the instance is not associated with a specific Dedicated Host, the next time the instance is launched, it is automatically associated with the host on which it lands. If the instance is restarted or rebooted, this relationship persists.
  • Change the Dedicated Host with which an instance is associated.
  • Change the instance tenancy of an instance from host to dedicated, or from dedicated to host.
  • Move an instance to or from a placement group.
At least one attribute for affinity, host ID, tenancy, or placement group name must be specified in the request. Affinity and tenancy can be modified in the same request. To modify the host ID, tenancy, placement group, or partition for an instance, the instance must be in the stopped state.

Parameters

-Affinity <Affinity>
The affinity setting for the instance.

-GroupName <String>
The name of the placement group in which to place the instance. For spread placement groups, the instance must have a tenancy of default. For cluster and partition placement groups, the instance must have a tenancy of default or dedicated.To remove an instance from a placement group, specify an empty string ("").
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-HostId <String>
The ID of the Dedicated Host with which to associate the instance.
Required?False

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Return'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.EC2.Model.ModifyInstancePlacementResponse).

Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
