Hibernate an Amazon EC2 instance
You can initiate hibernation on an On-Demand Instance or Spot Instance if the instance is an EBS-backed
instance, is enabled for hibernation, and
meets the hibernation prerequisites. If
an instance cannot hibernate successfully, a normal shutdown occurs.
- Console
-
To hibernate an instance
Open the Amazon EC2 console at
https://console.amazonaws.cn/ec2/.
-
In the navigation pane, choose
Instances.
-
Select an instance, and choose Instance
state, Hibernate instance. If
Hibernate instance is disabled, the
instance is already hibernated or stopped, or it can't be
hibernated. For more information, see Prerequisites for EC2 instance hibernation.
-
When prompted for confirmation, choose
Hibernate. It can take a few minutes for
the instance to hibernate. The instance state first changes to
Stopping, and then changes to
Stopped when the instance has
hibernated.
- Amazon CLI

-
To view if hibernation was initiated on an instance
Use the Get-EC2Instance cmdlet and specify the
state-reason-code filter to see the instances on which
hibernation was initiated.
Get-EC2Instance `
-Filter @{Name="state-reason-code";Value="Client.UserInitiatedHibernate"}
