Table of Contents
bmc ec2stopstart stops or starts an EC2 instance interactively.
Usage #
bmc ec2stopstart # Pick instance → stop or start
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.
