**To assign a registered instance to a layer**

The following example assigns a registered instance to a custom layer. ::

  aws opsworks --region us-east-1 assign-instance --instance-id 4d6d1710-ded9-42a1-b08e-b043ad7af1e2 --layer-ids 26cf1d32-6876-42fa-bbf1-9cadc0bff938

**Note**: OpsWorks CLI commands should set the region to ``us-east-1`` regardless of the stack's location.

*Output*: None.
