AWS EC2 Instance stopping right after start using boto3

Question

Using boto3 run_instances

The instance is stopping after 30 sec by itself and the State transition reason in the console shows:

Client.InstanceInitiatedShutdown: Instance initiated shutdown

What might be the issue?

Answer 1

Check if your AMI type (PV or HVM) and the volumes are compatible and you are mounting the volumes to the correct device. If there is a compatibility issue, the instance shuts down with Client.InstanceInitiatedShutdown: Instance initiated shutdown
