SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use VM::EC2;
$ec2      = VM::EC2->new(...);
$instance = $ec2->describe_instances(-instance_id=>'i-12345');

DESCRIPTION

This object represents the state of an Amazon EC2 instance. It is returned by calling the state() method of an VM::EC2::Instance, and is also returned by VM::EC2->start_instances(), stop_instances() and terminate_instances().

METHODS

These object methods are supported:
