Purpose of Checking Instance Status When you check the instance status, you are verifying whether your virtual machine (instance) is healthy, running properly, and reachable. It’s a diagnostic step — just like checking your car dashboard before driving 🚗. 1. To Confirm the Instance Is Running Properly • The instance might be in Stopped, Pending, Terminated, or Running state. • If it’s not Running, you can’t connect to it (SSH/RDP won’t work). • You check status to know when it’s ready for use after start/launch. 2. To Detect System or Instance Failures AWS (and most clouds) perform two key health checks: Check Type What it Verifies System Status Check Verifies that the underlying hardware, host, and network of AWS are healthy. Instance Status Check Verifies that your OS inside the instance is responding properly (like booting successfully, responding to pings, etc.).
