Terminate an Instance

delete

/20160918/instances/{instance_id}

Terminate the specified instance. Any attached VNICs and volumes are automatically detached when the instance terminates.

To preserve the boot volume associated with the instance, specify true for PreserveBootVolumeQueryParam.

To delete the boot volume when the instance is deleted, specify false or do not specify a value for PreserveBootVolumeQueryParam.

To preserve data volumes created with the instance, specify true for PreserveDataVolumesQueryParam.

To delete the data volumes when the instance itself is deleted, specify false or do not specify a value for PreserveDataVolumesQueryParam.

This is an asynchronous operation. The instance's lifecycleState will change to TERMINATING temporarily until the instance is completely removed.
