New in version 2.9.0: of oracle.oci

Synopsis

  • Perform actions on an InstancePool resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For action=attach_load_balancer, attach a load balancer to the instance pool.

  • For action=change_compartment, moves an instance pool into a different compartment within the same tenancy. For information about moving resources between compartments, see Moving Resources to a Different Compartment. When you move an instance pool to a different compartment, associated resources such as the instances in the pool, boot volumes, VNICs, and autoscaling configurations are not moved.

  • For action=detach_load_balancer, detach a load balancer from the instance pool.

  • For action=reset, performs the reset (immediate power off and power on) action on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool.

  • For action=softreset, performs the softreset (ACPI shutdown and power on) action on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool. Softreset gracefully reboots the instances by sending a shutdown command to the operating systems. After waiting 15 minutes for the OS to shut down, the instances are powered off and then powered back on.

  • For action=start, performs the start (power on) action on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool.

  • For action=stop, performs the stop (immediate power off) action on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool.
