Choose whether VM instances are automatically restarted after physical host maintenance

  • Services: Compute
  • Release Date: Aug. 26, 2020
  • API Versions Affected: 20160918

You can now configure compute virtual machine (VM) instances to remain stopped after a maintenance event affects the underlying infrastructure, instead of being automatically rebooted. This lets you restart the instance on your own schedule. For more information, see Setting Instance Availability During Maintenance Events.
