Starting a Notebook Instance

Function

This API is used to start a created notebook instance.

This API applies to the following scenarios: When you need to run a notebook instance for data processing, model training, or development, you can use this API to start a specified notebook instance. Before using this API, ensure that you have logged in to the system and have the permission to perform operations on the target notebook instance. In addition, the notebook instance must have been stopped, and configurations must be correct. After this API is called, the system starts the specified notebook instance for your use. If you do not have the permission to perform operations on the specified notebook instance or the notebook instance has not been stopped, the API will return an error message. If the specified notebook instance is not found or the startup fails, the API will return an error message.

Constraints

No constraints

Debugging

You can debug this API through automatic authentication in API Explorer or use the SDK sample code generated by API Explorer.

Authorization Information

Each account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions.

  • If you are using role/policy-based authorization, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions for details on the required permissions.
