Lightsail / Client / stop_instance
stop_instance#
- Lightsail.Client.stop_instance(**kwargs)#
Stops a specific Amazon Lightsail instance that is currently running.
Note
When you start a stopped instance, Lightsail assigns a new public IP address to the instance. To use the same IP address after stopping and starting an instance, create a static IP address and attach it to the instance. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
The
stop instance
operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified byinstance name
. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.See also: AWS API Documentation
