Network.AWS.EC2.StopInstances

Contents

Description

Stops an Amazon EBS-backed instance. Each time you transition an instance from stopped to started, Amazon EC2 charges a full instance hour, even if transitions happen multiple times within a single hour.

You can't start or stop Spot Instances.

Instances that use Amazon EBS volumes as their root devices can be quickly stopped and started. When an instance is stopped, the compute resources are released and you are not billed for hourly instance usage. However, your root partition Amazon EBS volume remains, continues to persist your data, and you are charged for Amazon EBS volume usage. You can restart your instance at any time.

Before stopping an instance, make sure it is in a state from which it can be restarted. Stopping an instance does not preserve data stored in RAM.

Performing this operation on an instance that uses an instance store as its root device returns an error.

You can stop, start, and terminate EBS-backed instances. You can only terminate instance store-backed instances. What happens to an instance differs if you stop it or terminate it. For example, when you stop an instance, the root device and any other devices attached to the instance persist. When you terminate an instance, the root device and any other devices attached during the instance launch are automatically deleted. For more information about the differences between stopping and terminating instances, see Instance Lifecycle in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

For more information about troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting Stopping Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Synopsis

Creating a Request

stopInstances :: StopInstances Source

Creates a value of StopInstances with the minimum fields required to make a request.

Use one of the following lenses to modify other fields as desired:

Request Lenses

siForce :: Lens' StopInstances (Maybe Bool) Source

Forces the instances to stop. The instances do not have an opportunity to flush file system caches or file system metadata. If you use this option, you must perform file system check and repair procedures. This option is not recommended for Windows instances.

Default: false

siDryRun :: Lens' StopInstances (Maybe Bool) Source

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

siInstanceIds :: Lens' StopInstances [Text] Source

One or more instance IDs.

Destructuring the Response

stopInstancesResponse Source

Creates a value of StopInstancesResponse with the minimum fields required to make a request.

Use one of the following lenses to modify other fields as desired:

Response Lenses

sirsStoppingInstances :: Lens' StopInstancesResponse [InstanceStateChange] Source

Information about one or more stopped instances.
