TerminateInstance
DELETE {{baseUrl}}/instances/:instanceId?preserveBootVolume=false
Terminates the specified instance. Any attached VNICs and volumes are automatically detached when the instance terminates.
To preserve the boot volume associated with the instance, specify true for PreserveBootVolumeQueryParam.
To delete the boot volume when the instance is deleted, specify false or do not specify a value for PreserveBootVolumeQueryParam.
This is an asynchronous operation. The instance's lifecycleState will change to TERMINATING temporarily
until the instance is completely removed.
