lightsail_start_instance: Starts a specific Amazon Lightsail instance from a stopped state

Description

Starts a specific Amazon Lightsail instance from a stopped state. To restart an instance, use the reboot instance operation.

Usage

lightsail_start_instance(instanceName)

Arguments

instanceName

[required] The name of the instance (a virtual private server) to start.

Request syntax

svc$start_instance(
  instanceName = "string"
)

Details

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 Lightsail Dev Guide.

The start instance operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by instanceName. For more information, see the Lightsail Dev Guide.
