    1. API Description

    Domain name for API request: cvm.tencentcloudapi.com.

    This API is used to reinstall the operating system of the specified instance.

    • If you specify an ImageId, the specified image is used. Otherwise, the image used by the current instance is used.
    • The system disk will be formatted and reset. Therefore, make sure that no important files are stored on the system disk.
    • If the operating system switches between Linux and Windows, the system disk ID of the instance will change, and the snapshots that are associated with the system disk can no longer be used to roll back and restore data.
    • If no password is specified, you will get a random password via internal message.
    • You can only use this API to switch the operating system between Linux and Windows for instances whose system disk type is CLOUD_BASIC, CLOUD_PREMIUM, or CLOUD_SSD.
    • Currently, this API only supports instances in Mainland China regions.

    A maximum of 10 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

    Note: This API supports Finance regions. If the common parameter Region is a Finance region, a domain name with the Finance region needs to be specified, for example: cvm.ap-shanghai-fsi.tencentcloudapi.com
