DescribeVpcAttribute

GET /?Action=DescribeVpcAttribute
Description

Describes a specified attribute of a VPC.

You can specify only one attribute at a time. You can get information about the two following attributes:

  • EnableDnsSupport: Whether DNS resolution is supported for the VPC.

  • EnableDnsHostnames: Whether instances launched in the VPC get DNS hostnames.

The description of these attributes always returns true, as the VPCs do not support their deactivation.

Note

If you exceed the number of identical requests allowed for a configured time period, the RequestLimitExceeded error message is returned.
