AWS CLI version 2, the latest major version of AWS CLI, is now stable and recommended for general use. To view this page for the AWS CLI version 2, click here. For more information see the AWS CLI version 2 installation instructions and migration guide.
Modifies a Capacity Reservation's capacity, instance eligibility, and the conditions under which it is to be released. You can't modify a Capacity Reservation's instance type, EBS optimization, platform, instance store settings, Availability Zone, or tenancy. If you need to modify any of these attributes, we recommend that you cancel the Capacity Reservation, and then create a new one with the required attributes. For more information, see Modify an active Capacity Reservation .
The allowed modifications depend on the state of the Capacity Reservation:
assessing
or scheduled
state - You can modify the tags only.pending
state - You can't modify the Capacity Reservation in any way.active
state but still within the commitment duration - You can't decrease the instance count or set an end date that is within the commitment duration. All other modifications are allowed.active
state with no commitment duration or elapsed commitment duration - All modifications are allowed.expired
, cancelled
, unsupported
, or failed
state - You can't modify the Capacity Reservation in any way.See also: AWS API Documentation

--capacity-reservation-id
(string)
The ID of the Capacity Reservation.
--instance-count
(integer)
The number of instances for which to reserve capacity. The number of instances can't be increased or decreased by more than1000
in a single request.
--end-date
(timestamp)
The date and time at which the Capacity Reservation expires. When a Capacity Reservation expires, the reserved capacity is released and you can no longer launch instances into it. The Capacity Reservation's state changes to
expired
when it reaches its end date and time.The Capacity Reservation is cancelled within an hour from the specified time. For example, if you specify 5/31/2019, 13:30:55, the Capacity Reservation is guaranteed to end between 13:30:55 and 14:30:55 on 5/31/2019.
You must provide an
EndDate
value ifEndDateType
islimited
. OmitEndDate
ifEndDateType
isunlimited
.
--end-date-type
(string)
Indicates the way in which the Capacity Reservation ends. A Capacity Reservation can have one of the following end types:
unlimited
- The Capacity Reservation remains active until you explicitly cancel it. Do not provide anEndDate
value ifEndDateType
isunlimited
.limited
- The Capacity Reservation expires automatically at a specified date and time. You must provide anEndDate
value ifEndDateType
islimited
.Possible values:
unlimited
limited
--accept
| --no-accept
(boolean)
Reserved. Capacity Reservations you have created are accepted by default.
--dry-run
| --no-dry-run
(boolean)
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response isDryRunOperation
. Otherwise, it isUnauthorizedOperation
.
--additional-info
(string)
Reserved for future use.
--instance-match-criteria
(string)
The matching criteria (instance eligibility) that you want to use in the modified Capacity Reservation. If you change the instance eligibility of an existing Capacity Reservation from
targeted
toopen
, any running instances that match the attributes of the Capacity Reservation, have theCapacityReservationPreference
set toopen
, and are not yet running in the Capacity Reservation, will automatically use the modified Capacity Reservation.To modify the instance eligibility, the Capacity Reservation must be completely idle (zero usage).
Possible values:
open
targeted
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command's default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
Example 1: To change the number of instances reserved by an existing capacity reservation
The following modify-capacity-reservation
example changes the number of instances for which the capacity reservation reserves capacity.
aws ec2 modify-capacity-reservation \
--capacity-reservation-id cr-1234abcd56EXAMPLE \
--instance-count 5
Output:
{
"Return": true
}
Example 2: To change the end date and time for an existing capacity reservation
The following modify-capacity-reservation
example modifies an existing capacity reservation to end at the specified date and time.
aws ec2 modify-capacity-reservation \
--capacity-reservation-id cr-1234abcd56EXAMPLE \
--end-date-type limited \
--end-date 2019-08-31T23:59:59Z
