AssociateInstancesKeyPairs

POST

Associate key pairs with instances.

Wire call

Converge Cloud is RPC over HTTP. There is one path — / — and the action travels in the X-TC-Action header. The /cvm/AssociateInstancesKeyPairs path used in the OpenAPI document is a documentation convenience so each action is addressable; it is not a route on the server.

Request parameters

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
InstanceIdsstring[]YesInstance ID(s). The maximum number of instances in each request is 100. You can obtain the available instance IDs in two ways: Log in to the console to query the instance IDs. Call DescribeInstances and look for `InstanceId` in the response.

You can obtain the available key pair IDs in two ways: Log in to the console to query the key pair IDs. Call DescribeKeyPairs and look for `KeyId` in the response.
ForceStopbooleanNoWhether to force shut down a running instances. It is recommended to manually shut down a running instance before associating a key pair with it. Valid values: TRUE: force shut down an instance after a normal shutdown fails. FALSE: do not force shut down an instance after a normal shutdown fails. Default value: FALSE.

Response

Fields are returned inside the Response envelope. Converge Cloud answers HTTP 200 for errors as well as successes, so read Response.Error rather than the status code — and test for the presence of that object, because Code is occasionally the empty string.

FieldTypeDescription
RequestIdstringThe unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.
Success

    // action-specific fields,
