Changing the Capacity Reservation for an Instance

You can move instances into or out of capacity reservations without having to rebuild your instances. Capacity reservations let you reserve instances in advance so that the capacity is available for your workloads when you need it.

For permissions, see Required IAM Policy for Working with Instances.

Before You Begin
