The euca-terminate-instances
command lets you cancel running VM instances. When you terminate instances, you must specify the ID string of the instance(s) you wish to terminate. You can obtain the ID strings of your instances using the euca-describe-instances command.
Terminating an instance can cause the instance and all items associated with the instance (data, packages installed, etc.) to be lost. Be sure to save any important work or data to Walrus or EBS before terminating an instance.
Enter euca-describe
instances to obtain the ID of the instances you wish to terminate. Note that an instance ID strings begin with the prefix i-
followed by an 8-character string:
