Starting today, Amazon EC2 customers can now force terminate instances that are stuck in the shutting-down state. EC2 Instances can get stuck in the shutting down state because of rare issues caused by frozen operating system or underlying hardware problems. When customers use force terminate, the instance will first attempt a graceful shutdown process. If unsuccessful within the timeout period, the instance proceeds with a forced shutdown. A forced shutdown may not flush the file system caches and metadata or run shutdown scripts before instance termination. Force terminate allows customers to recover resources associated with stuck instances such as vCPU Quotas or Elastic IP addresses without waiting for AWS intervention, providing greater flexibility in managing EC2 instances.
