Describes the current state of an instance.

-
The state of the instance as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
The high byte is all of the bits between 2^8 and (2^16)-1, which equals decimal values between 256 and 65,535. These numerical values are used for internal purposes and should be ignored.
The low byte is all of the bits between 2^0 and (2^8)-1, which equals decimal values between 0 and 255.
The valid values for instance-state-code will all be in the range of the low byte and they are:
-
0:pending -
16:running -
32:shutting-down -
48:terminated -
64:stopping -
80:stopped
You can ignore the high byte value by zeroing out all of the bits above 2^8 or 256 in decimal.
