[Buildbot-devel] [Doubt] Latent slave shutdown behaviour

[kuldeep porwal]

Hi all,

I have a following doubt in latent-slave stop_instance logic of buildbot.

 file:buildbot/master/buildbot/buildslave/ec2.py .

As we know we can't stop a spot instance but we can stop other instances.
so sometimes it will be better to shutdown the build slave for some time
and reboot it when required (scenario arises when load is shifting towards
high). This will help in
* decreasing the overhead * of relaunching the slave again.

 Where in the function _stop_instance() we are doing that? all I can
understand is like we are terminating a slave when it is not already
terminated.
(line: instance.terminate()).
