Skip to contents

Terminates (deletes) the specified instances. This operation is idempotent; if you terminate an instance more than once, each call succeeds.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/ec2_terminate_instances/ for full documentation.

Usage

ec2_terminate_instances(
  InstanceIds,
  Force = NULL,
  SkipOsShutdown = NULL,
  DryRun = NULL
)

Arguments

InstanceIds

[required] The IDs of the instances.

Constraints: Up to 1000 instance IDs. We recommend breaking up this request into smaller batches.

Force

Forces the instances to terminate. The instance will first attempt a graceful shutdown, which includes flushing file system caches and metadata. If the graceful shutdown fails to complete within the timeout period, the instance shuts down forcibly without flushing the file system caches and metadata.

SkipOsShutdown

Specifies whether to bypass the graceful OS shutdown process when the instance is terminated.

Default: false

DryRun

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the operation, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
