rebootMigration

Specifies whether to attempt reboot migration during a user-initiated reboot of an instance that has a scheduled system-reboot event:

  • default - Amazon EC2 attempts to migrate the instance to new hardware (reboot migration). If successful, the system-reboot event is cleared. If unsuccessful, an in-place reboot occurs and the event remains scheduled.

  • disabled - Amazon EC2 keeps the instance on the same hardware (in-place reboot). The system-reboot event remains scheduled.

This setting only applies to supported instances that have a scheduled reboot event. For more information, see Enable or disable reboot migration in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
