NOTE: Default to provide upgraded instance types. If you want to get outdated instance types, you should set is_outdated to true.

NOTE: If one instance type is sold out, it will not be exported.

Example Usage

# Declare the data source
data "alicloud_instance_types" "1c2g" {
  cpu_core_count = 1
  memory_size = 2
}

# Create ecs instance with the first matched instance_type

resource "alicloud_instance" "instance" {
  instance_type = "${data.alicloud_instance_types.1c2g.instance_types.0.id}"

  # Other properties...
}
