aws_terminate_instance: Terminate an AWS EC2 instance

In MarHai/ScrapeBotR: Orchestrate Instances and Retrieve Data from a ScrapeBot Database

Description

Terminating an EC2 instance translates to shutting down and deleting it. That means, all data stored on that machine is gone. This does not affect a central database, given that the central database is located on a different machine. Note that AWS lists an instance after shutting it down for some 10-20 minutes longer. You won't be charged for such instances, though.

Usage

aws_terminate_instance(aws_connection, instance_aws_uid)

Arguments

aws_connection	AWS connection object, as retrieved from connect_aws(). This also specifies the region.
instance_aws_uid	Character string with the instance to be terminated. This has been put into the aws_connection$ec2_instances tibble.

Value

The updated AWS connection object.
