Function
This plugin can start instances in an Amazon EC2 environment.
The required server is shown as follows:

This is a server on which AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell (hereinafter referred to as "AWS Tools") is installed. This product can forward plugins to the server to be executed.
- Instance
This is a regular virtual server in an Amazon EC2 environment.
The scripts in this plugin execute the following AWS Tools commandlets:
- Start-EC2Instance -InstanceId instance-ID (the value of the AWS.instanceId property)
After executing the above commandlets, make sure that the status of the started instance is "running".
For details about the AWS Tools commandlets, refer to "AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell Cmdlet Reference" in the AWS document.
