id
An identifier that you want to associate with the instance. Note the following:
If the service that's specified by
ServiceId
includes settings for anSRV
record, the value ofInstanceId
is automatically included as part of the value for theSRV
record. For more information, see DnsRecord Type.You can use this value to update an existing instance.
To register a new instance, you must specify a value that's unique among instances that you register by using the same service.
If you specify an existing
InstanceId
andServiceId
, Cloud Map updates the existing DNS records. If there's also an existing health check, Cloud Map deletes the old health check and creates a new one. The health check isn't deleted immediately, so it will still appear for a while if you submit aListHealthChecks
request, for example.
