エラスティック インスタンス

An elastic instance is an instance of an elastic image. An elastic instance is created whenever an image is started. An image can be started multiple times, creating multiple instances. Each time an elastic instance is started, one elastic agent is created.

Conceptually, an elastic instance can be thought of as a computer. Elastic agent processes are run on this computer and the elastic image is the boot hard disk. Please note however, that elastic instances are temporary and transient. Any changes that an elastic instance makes to the boot hard drive (e.g. agent log file) are not persisted when the instance is shut down. Any customisations to the instance itself will also be lost when the it is shut down.
