Configure an index
This operation configures an existing index.
For serverless indexes, you can configure only index deletion protection. For pod-based indexes, you can configure the pod size, number of replicas, and index deletion protection.
It is not possible to change the pod type of a pod-based index. However, you can create a collection from a pod-based index and then create a new pod-based index with a different pod type from the collection. For guidance and examples, see Configure an index.
