Stops a specified instance. When you stop a standard instance, the data disappears and must be reinstalled when you restart the instance. You can stop an Amazon EBS-backed instance without losing data. For more information, see Starting, Stopping, and Rebooting Instances.
opsworks_stop_instance(InstanceId, Force)
[required] The instance ID.
Specifies whether to force an instance to stop. If the instance\'s root
device type is ebs
, or EBS-backed, adding the Force
parameter to the
StopInstances
API call disassociates the AWS OpsWorks Stacks instance
from EC2, and forces deletion of only the OpsWorks Stacks instance.
You must also delete the formerly-associated instance in EC2 after
troubleshooting and replacing the AWS OpsWorks Stacks instance with a
new one.
svc$stop_instance( InstanceId = "string", Force = TRUE|FALSE )
Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have a Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see Managing User Permissions.
