Stop_and_Restart_EC2

This repo is about the shell script that I used to automate the process of stop and restart AWS EC2

Requirements for the Script to Work:

• Replace Placeholders:
  • Replace your-instance-id with your EC2 instance's ID.
  • Replace your-region with your AWS region (e.g., us-west-2).

• Install AWS CLI (if not already installed):
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install awscli -y

• AWS CLI Setup: The AWS CLI must be installed and configured with valid credentials (aws configure).

• IAM Role/Permissions: The AWS CLI user or instance role needs the following permissions:
  • ec2:StopInstances
  • ec2:StartInstances
  • ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus
  • ec2:Wait

• Make the script file excutable
  sudo chmod 755 <file_name>.sh
