AWS AWSEC2: Clarify billing and host movement during instance hibernation
Summary
Updated passive voice for consistency and clarified billing charges during instance hibernation states.
Security assessment
Changes focus on billing clarification and grammatical improvements (active to passive voice) without addressing vulnerabilities, security controls, or attack vectors.
Evidence
+When you hibernate your instance, it enters the `stopping` state, and then the `stopped` state. You are not charged for usage for a hibernated instance when it is in the `stopped` state, but you are charged while it is in the `stopping` state, unlike when you stop an instance without hibernating it.
