Describes the status of the specified instances or all of your instances. By default,
only running instances are described, unless you specifically indicate to return the
status of all instances.
Instance status includes the following components:
Scheduled events - Amazon EC2 can schedule
events (such as reboot, stop, or terminate) for your instances related to
hardware issues, software updates, or system maintenance. For more information,
see Scheduled events for your instances in the Amazon EC2 User
Guide.
Instance state - You can manage your instances
from the moment you launch them through their termination. For more information,
see Instance
lifecycle in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
