Resets an attribute of an instance to its default value. To reset the
kernel or ramdisk, the instance must be in a stopped
state. To reset the sourceDestCheck, the instance can be either running or
stopped.
The sourceDestCheck attribute controls whether source/destination
checking is enabled. The default value is true, which means checking is
enabled. This value must be false for a NAT instance to perform NAT. For
more information, see NAT instances in the
Amazon VPC User Guide.
