Reboot an instance
Updated at：2025-10-20
This API is used to reboot specific instances.
- This operation is only permitted for instances with a Running status; otherwise, a 409 error will be returned.
- Upon a successful API call, instances transition to the Starting state.
- It supports forced reboot, which is similar to a power failure reboot on a traditional server and may lead to the loss of data not saved to the disk from the instance's OS.
