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.

To hibernate an instance
Open the Amazon EC2 console at
https://console.amazonaws.cn/ec2/.
-

-
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 Amazon 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.
