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:

 code           -- The state code
 name           -- The state name

   Code                            Name
