Hi @xiaozhu36

Thanks for the work here - please can you give me a config that i can use to test that this is working as expected?

Thanks

Hi @stack72

Thanks you for your feedback. I have run the testcase about allocating public ip for the instance and the result as follows:
TF_ACC=1 go test ./alicloud -v -run=TestAccAlicloudInstance_associatePublicIP -timeout 120m
=== RUN TestAccAlicloudInstance_associatePublicIP
--- PASS: TestAccAlicloudInstance_associatePublicIP (462.94s)
PASS
ok github.com/alibaba/terraform-provider/alicloud 207.031s

In addition, above testcase applies to pay-as-you-go instance, and I also used the following example to test allocating public ip for pay-monthly instance, and the result is working as expected.

data "alicloud_zones" "default" {
"available_disk_category"= "cloud_efficiency"
"available_resource_creation"= "VSwitch"
}

resource "alicloud_vpc" "foo" {
name = "tf_test_foo"
cidr_block = "172.16.0.0/12"
}

resource "alicloud_vswitch" "foo" {
vpc_id = "${alicloud_vpc.foo.id}"
cidr_block = "172.16.0.0/24"
availability_zone = "${data.alicloud_zones.default.zones.0.id}"
}

resource "alicloud_security_group" "tf_test_foo" {
name = "tf_test_foo"
description = "foo"
vpc_id = "${alicloud_vpc.foo.id}"
}

resource "alicloud_instance" "foo" {
# cn-beijing
security_groups = ["${alicloud_security_group.tf_test_foo.id}"]
vswitch_id = "${alicloud_vswitch.foo.id}"
allocate_public_ip = "true"
internet_max_bandwidth_out = 5
internet_charge_type = "PayByBandwidth"
instance_charge_type = "PrePaid"
period = 1
# series II
instance_type = "ecs.n1.medium"
io_optimized = "optimized"
system_disk_category = "cloud_efficiency"
image_id = "ubuntu_140405_32_40G_cloudinit_20161115.vhd"
instance_name = "test_foo"
}

Thanks
