Hibernation is an Amazon EC2 feature that helps customers lower costs and achieve faster startup times by enabling customers to pause and resume their running instances at scale. Customers are not billed for the compute time while instances are suspended, and their applications will resume from right where they left off.
Customers can configure Hibernate on a variety of instance types, with new types supported regularly. EC2 Spot Instance customers can configure these newly supported instance families for Hibernation in AWS commercial regions.
Hibernate is available through AWS CloudFormation, AWS Management Console, or through the AWS SDKs, AWS Tools for Powershell, or the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).
