StopInstances

Last updated: 2023-08-18 14:28:07

1. API Description

Domain name for API request: ecm.tencentcloudapi.com.

Only instances in RUNNING status can be shut down.
The instance status will become STOPPING when the API is called successfully and will become STOPPED when the instance is shut down successfully.
Forced shutdown is supported. Just like powering off a physical PC, a forced shutdown may cause data loss or file system corruption. Make sure that you use this API only when the server cannot be shut down normally.
