1. Stopping the Instance

Shutting down a running instance is very simple.

Shutting down the instance - click to view at full size in a new window

  1. In the Aeolus web interface, click the MONITOR tab and select the grid view by clicking the grid button on the right side of the page.
  2. Click on “Instances” to view your running instances. Tick the checkbox next to the instance name in the instance list.
  3. Click the “Stop selected instances” button. Within a minute or two the instance status should change to say stopped:

Instance has stopped - click to view at full size in a new window

If you are using Amazon EC2, follow the next step to check for instances running in EC2.


2. Check for instances left running in EC2

When using a development version of Aeolus, always remember to check the AWS Management Console for instances left running in EC2.

It’s rare for this to happen, but better safe than sorry:

Check AWS for EC2 instances left running
