I am new to AWS and want to know if there is any way to how to reboot and change termination protection of an EC2 instance programmatically(using JAVA)


Solution

  • To reboot an EC2 Instance, you have to call the method rebootInstances of your AWS EC2 Java client.

    To enable/disable termination protection, you have to modify the setDisableApiTermination of a ModifyInstanceAttributesRequest using the method as argument of the method modifyInstanceAttribute of your AWS EC2 Java client.
