Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

The ID of the instance with the scheduled event.
string
[REQUIRED]
The ID of the event whose date and time you are modifying.

Event (dict) --
Describes a scheduled event for an instance.
InstanceEventId (string) --
The ID of the event.
Code (string) --
The event code.

{'InstanceStatuses': {'Events': {'InstanceEventId': 'string',

Describes the status of one or more instances. By default, only running instances are described, unless you specifically indicate to return the status of all instances.
Instance status includes the following components:
Status checks - Amazon EC2 performs status checks on running EC2 instances to identify hardware and software issues. For more information, see Status Checks for Your Instances and Troubleshooting Instances with Failed Status Checks in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Scheduled events - Amazon EC2 can schedule events (such as reboot, stop, or terminate) for your instances related to hardware issues, software updates, or system maintenance. For more information, see Scheduled Events for Your Instances in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Instance state - You can manage your instances from the moment you launch them through their termination. For more information, see Instance Lifecycle in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

list
One or more filters.
availability-zone - The Availability Zone of the instance.
event.code - The code for the scheduled event (instance-reboot | system-reboot | system-maintenance | instance-retirement | instance-stop ).
event.description - A description of the event.
event.instance-event-id - The ID of the event whose date and time you are modifying.
event.not-after - The latest end time for the scheduled event (for example, 2014-09-15T17:15:20.000Z ).
event.not-before - The earliest start time for the scheduled event (for example, 2014-09-15T17:15:20.000Z ).
event.not-before-deadline - The deadline for starting the event (for example, 2014-09-15T17:15:20.000Z ).
instance-state-code - The code for the instance state, as a 16-bit unsigned integer. The high byte is used for internal purposes and should be ignored. The low byte is set based on the state represented. The valid values are 0 (pending), 16 (running), 32 (shutting-down), 48 (terminated), 64 (stopping), and 80 (stopped).
instance-state-name - The state of the instance (pending | running | shutting-down | terminated | stopping | stopped ).
instance-status.reachability - Filters on instance status where the name is reachability (passed | failed | initializing | insufficient-data ).
instance-status.status - The status of the instance (ok | impaired | initializing | insufficient-data | not-applicable ).
system-status.reachability - Filters on system status where the name is reachability (passed | failed | initializing | insufficient-data ).
system-status.status - The system status of the instance (ok | impaired | initializing | insufficient-data | not-applicable ).
(dict) --
A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs. The filters supported by a describe operation are documented with the describe operation. For example:
DescribeAvailabilityZones
DescribeImages
DescribeInstances
DescribeKeyPairs
DescribeSecurityGroups
DescribeSnapshots
DescribeSubnets
DescribeTags
DescribeVolumes
DescribeVpcs
Name (string) --
The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.
Values (list) --
One or more filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.
(string) --
list
One or more instance IDs.
Default: Describes all your instances.
Constraints: Maximum 100 explicitly specified instance IDs.
(string) --
integer
The maximum number of results to return in a single call. To retrieve the remaining results, make another call with the returned NextToken value. This value can be between 5 and 1000. You cannot specify this parameter and the instance IDs parameter in the same call.
string
The token to retrieve the next page of results.
boolean
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
boolean
When true , includes the health status for all instances. When false , includes the health status for running instances only.
Default: false

Response Structure
(dict) --
InstanceStatuses (list) --
One or more instance status descriptions.
(dict) --
Describes the status of an instance.
AvailabilityZone (string) --
The Availability Zone of the instance.
Events (list) --
Any scheduled events associated with the instance.
(dict) --
Describes a scheduled event for an instance.
InstanceEventId (string) --
The ID of the event.
Code (string) --
The event code.
Description (string) --
A description of the event.
After a scheduled event is completed, it can still be described for up to a week. If the event has been completed, this description starts with the following text: [Completed].
NotAfter (datetime) --
The latest scheduled end time for the event.
NotBefore (datetime) --
The earliest scheduled start time for the event.
NotBeforeDeadline (datetime) --
The deadline for starting the event.
InstanceId (string) --
The ID of the instance.
InstanceState (dict) --
The intended state of the instance. DescribeInstanceStatus requires that an instance be in the running state.
Code (integer) --
The state of the instance as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
The high byte is all of the bits between 2^8 and (2^16)-1, which equals decimal values between 256 and 65,535. These numerical values are used for internal purposes and should be ignored.
The low byte is all of the bits between 2^0 and (2^8)-1, which equals decimal values between 0 and 255.
The valid values for instance-state-code will all be in the range of the low byte and they are:
0 : pending
16 : running
32 : shutting-down
48 : terminated
64 : stopping
80 : stopped
You can ignore the high byte value by zeroing out all of the bits above 2^8 or 256 in decimal.
