Instances

Perform action on an instance or multiple instances

Changed on

Perform an action on a single or multiple instances.

Note: to hibernate an instance, you must first shutdown it. All instance volumes would be detached and the instance will be deleted.

Important: To remove an instance and stop charging your account, you must delete it. Using shutdown will keep charging your account.

When deleting an instance, you can specify which of its' attached volumes will be deleted by providing volume_ids array. Any attached volumes that are not specified in the array would be detached.

Note: If not providing a volume_ids array, only the OS volume will be deleted and the rest detached.
