Reboot an Instance

After your instance is running, if required, you can reboot your instance from the web console.

When you reboot an instance, data on storage volumes (whether persistent or nonpersistent) isn’t lost. Your instance also retains all its configuration information, such as its public IP address and storage volumes that were attached and mounted on the instance.

1. Sign in to the Compute Classic console.
2. On the Instances page, go to the instance that you want to reboot. From the menu, select Reboot.
   The Reboot Instance dialog box appears.
3. (Optional.) If the instance hangs after it starts running, select the Hard Reboot check box to perform a hard reset of the instance.
4. Click Yes to reboot the instance.
