ec2stopstart
Table of Contents
bmc ec2stopstart stops or starts an EC2 instance interactively.
Usage #
bmc ec2stopstart # Pick instance → stop or start
In the instance picker you can start typing to filter by instance ID, name, or IP.
BMC shows the current state of the selected instance and offers the appropriate action (Stop or Start). For hibernate-enabled instances, Stop also offers a hibernate option.
Stopping with hibernate #
If an instance has hibernation configured (Hibernate: yes in ec2ls), BMC will ask whether to hibernate instead of a cold stop. Hibernation saves RAM to disk and resumes faster.
