Start & Stop of EC2 instance using tags in Lambda function

Question

Is there is any way to start & stop an EC2 instance using the tags in lambda function. Currently i am using a lambda function to start & stop an EC2 instance by the instance id. if the instance got replaced, the lambda function is not working. So inorder to fix this issue, i am curious on setting up a lambda function to start & stop the instance by using the Tags instead of instance id.

Accepted Answer

Not directly with the API.  You will need to update your Lambda function to `DescribeInstances` and filter on the tag key/value combination you desire and pass the returned instance ID to the relevant `StartInstances`/`StopInstances` method.

Answer

if you want to make it easier for yourself, look at this:
