Cannot terminate EC2
Hi, I cannot terminate EC2 instances i-0a63be202eeedb72c and i-0164358bd2d08565f. It has be been in the shutting down state for 1 days. The status message is "Server.InternalError: Internal error on launch". Could you please help? Regards
If the EC2 instance has been in shutting down state, see this link
Specific section relevant to your issue:
Delayed instance termination
If your instance remains in the shutting-down
state longer than a few minutes, it might be delayed due to shutdown scripts being run by the instance.
Another possible cause is a problem with the underlying host computer. If your instance remains in the shutting-down state for several hours, Amazon EC2 treats it as a stuck instance and forcibly terminates it.
If it appears that your instance is stuck terminating and it has been longer than several hours, post a request for help to the Amazon EC2 forum . To help expedite a resolution, include the instance ID and describe the steps that you've already taken. Alternatively, if you have a support plan, create a technical support case in the Support Center.
As for the "Server.InternalError: Internal error on launch" status, there could be few reasons, see this KB article
