You can call this operation in the following ways:
To get information on all instances in a fleet's home Region, specify the fleet ID.
To get information on all instances in a fleet's remote location, specify the fleet ID and location name.
To get information on a specific instance in a fleet, specify the fleet ID and instance ID.
