    4. Example

    Example1 Creating a launch configuration with required parameters

    This example shows you how to create a launch configuration by only assigning values for the required parameters (launch configuration name, instance model, and image ID) and using system default values for other parameters. The specific configuration is as follows: launch configuration name: as_test; instance model: Standard II 1C1G (S2.SMALL1); image ID: img-8toqc6s3.

    Input Example

    POST / HTTP/1.1
    Host: as.tencentcloudapi.com
