In Amazon EC2, the "pending" state means the instance is being initialized and prepared to run, but not yet fully operational. You cannot access the instance during this time.The instance is not yet fully operational, and you cannot connect to it or perform any actions on it while in the pending state. You need to wait for the instance to transition to the "running" state before attempting to access it.
