VM::EC2::Instance::State::Change(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation VM::EC2::Instance::State::Change(3)

VM::EC2::Instance::State::Change - Represent an EC2 instance's change in state.

     # find all stopped instances
    @instances = $ec2->describe_instances(-filter=>{'instance-state-name'=>'stopped'});

    # start them
    @state_change = $ec2->start_instances(@instances)
 
    foreach my $sc (@state_change) {
        my $instanceId    = $sc->instanceId;
        my $currentState  = $sc->currentState;
        my $previousState = $sc->previousState;
    }

    # poll till the first instance is running
    sleep 2 until $state_change[0]->current_status eq 'running';

This object represents a state change in an Amazon EC2 instance. It is returned by VM::EC2 start_instances(), stop_instances(), terminate_instances(), reboot_instances() and the corresponding VM::EC2::Instance methods. In addition, this object is returned by calls to VM::EC2::Instance->instanceState().

These object methods are supported:

 instanceId      -- The instanceId.
 currentState    -- The instanceId's current state AT THE TIME
                     THE STATECHANGE OBJECT WAS CREATED. One of
                     "terminated", "running", "stopped", "stopping",
                     "shutting-down".
 previousState   -- The instanceID's previous state AT THE TIME
                     THE STATECHANGE OBJECT WAS CREATED.

Note that currentState and previousState return a VM::EC2::Instance::State object, which provides both string-readable forms and numeric codes representing the state.

In addition, the method provides the following convenience method:

This method returns the current state of the instance. This is the correct method to call if you are interested in knowing what the instance is doing right now.

In a string context, the method will return the string representation of currentState.
