Gets the console output for the specified instance. For Linux instances, the instance
console output displays the exact console output that would normally be displayed on a
physical monitor attached to a computer. For Windows instances, the instance console
output includes the last three system event log errors.
By default, the console output returns buffered information that was posted shortly
after an instance transition state (start, stop, reboot, or terminate). This information
is available for at least one hour after the most recent post. Only the most recent 64
KB of console output is available.
You can optionally retrieve the latest serial console output at any time during the
instance lifecycle. This option is supported on instance types that use the Nitro
hypervisor.
