StopInstances

1. API Description

This API is used to shut down instances.

Note

  • You can only perform this operation on instances whose status is RUNNING.

  • The instance status will become STOPPING when the API is called successfully and STOPPED when the instance is successfully shut down.

  • This API is an async API. A response is returned after the request is sent. However, it does not mean the shutdown has been completed. You can use DescribeInstances to query the status of the instance. If the status changes from STOPPING toSTOPPED, it means that the instance has been shut down successfully. Any operations on the instances are not allowed while creating.

  • Batch operations are supported. The maximum number of instances in each request is 100.
