EC2.Instance.state#

(dict) –

The current state of the instance.
- Code (integer) –
  
  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.
- Name (string) –
  
  The current state of the instance.
