- Parameters:
instanceNames (list) –
[REQUIRED]
The names to use for your new Lightsail instances. Separate multiple values using quotation marks and commas, for example:
["MyFirstInstance","MySecondInstance"]
(string) –
availabilityZone (string) –
[REQUIRED]

apt-get -y update
.Note

StopInstanceOnIdle
add-on.Warning
This object only applies to Lightsail for Research resources.
threshold (string) –
The value to compare with the duration.
duration (string) –
