Description
The change operation updates an individual service to use either a dedicated or a shared instance type. When a qualified service is published, the service is automatically set to use shared instances.
When using this operation, services may populate other provider types as values for the provider parameter, such as Arc and SDS. While these are valid provider types, this operation does not support changing the provider of such services to either Arc or DMaps. Services with Arc or SDS as their provider cannot change their instance type.
