Start Instance

lightsail_start_instance R Documentation

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.

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 Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

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