InstanceStateType

code

A 16-bit unsigned integer. The high byte is an opaque internal value and should be ignored. The low byte is set based on the state represented.

Type: integer

Valid Values: 0 (pending) | 16 (running) | 32 (shutting-down) | 48 (terminated) | 64 (stopping) | 80 (stopped)

	Note
	A code of 272 typically indicates a problem with the host running the instance. A reboot might resolve the problem (be aware that for a Windows system, a reboot is a hard reboot that might result in data corruption). If a reboot doesn't work, post a message to the EC2 forums with the instance ID. Typically someone from the EC2 team can get your instance back to a normal state.

name

The current state of the instance.

Type: xsd:string

Valid Values: pending | running | shutting-down | terminated | stopping | stopped
