--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--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
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

To modify Reserved Instances
This example command moves a Reserved Instance to another Availability Zone in the same region.
Command:
aws ec2 modify-reserved-instances --reserved-instances-ids b847fa93-e282-4f55-b59a-1342f5bd7c02 --target-configurations AvailabilityZone=us-west-1c,Platform=EC2-Classic,InstanceCount=10
Output:
{
"ReservedInstancesModificationId": "rimod-d3ed4335-b1d3-4de6-ab31-0f13aaf46687"
}
To modify the network platform of Reserved Instances
This example command converts EC2-Classic Reserved Instances to EC2-VPC.
Command:
aws ec2 modify-reserved-instances --reserved-instances-ids f127bd27-edb7-44c9-a0eb-0d7e09259af0 --target-configurations AvailabilityZone=us-west-1c,Platform=EC2-VPC,InstanceCount=5
Output:
{
"ReservedInstancesModificationId": "rimod-82fa9020-668f-4fb6-945d-61537009d291"
}
For more information, see Modifying Your Reserved Instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
To modify the instance size of Reserved Instances
This example command modifies a Reserved Instance that has 10 m1.small Linux/UNIX instances in us-west-1c so that 8 m1.small instances become 2 m1.large instances, and the remaining 2 m1.small become 1 m1.medium instance in the same Availability Zone. Command:
aws ec2 modify-reserved-instances --reserved-instances-ids 1ba8e2e3-3556-4264-949e-63ee671405a9 --target-configurations AvailabilityZone=us-west-1c,Platform=EC2-Classic,InstanceCount=2,InstanceType=m1.large AvailabilityZone=us-west-1c,Platform=EC2-Classic,InstanceCount=1,InstanceType=m1.medium
Output:
{
"ReservedInstancesModificationId": "rimod-acc5f240-080d-4717-b3e3-1c6b11fa00b6"
}
