Terminating an Amazon EC2-compatible instance

After you terminate an Amazon EC2-compatible instance, you can't restart the instance.

**To terminate an Amazon EC2-compatible instance**

1. Open the AWS OpsHub application.

1. In the **Start computing** section on the dashboard, choose **Get started**. Or, choose the **Services** menu at the top, and then choose **Compute (EC2)** to open the **Compute** page. You can see all your compute resources in the **Resources** section.

1. In the **Instance name** column, under **Instances**, find the instance that you want to terminate.

1. Choose the instance, and choose the **Actions**menu. From the **Actions** menu, choose **Terminate**.
