   • Information
     • Current status — this is the status of the elastic instance. Valid values include, 'Pending' (instance starting up), 'Running' and 'Shutting down'.
     • Public DNS — this is the public DNS address of the elastic instance. The IP address of the elastic instance is displayed under this field.
     • Start Time — this is the start time of the instance, based on the Amazon EC2 timezone (US Eastern Time for Elastic Bamboo). Please note, start time is the time when you send the request to start an instance, not the time when the instance progresses to 'Running' status. Up time of the instance (including the time taken for the instance to start up) is shown in brackets after the start time.
     • Elastic Agent — this is the elastic agent process currently running on your elastic instance. Currently Elastic Bamboo only supports one elastic agent per elastic image. Click the 'Elastic Agent on <instance_name>' link to view the elastic agent. If the agent is running a plan, the plan name will be shown in brackets after the elastic agent name.
     • Current Availability Zone — the availability zone that your elastic instance is running in. Read more about Amazon EC2 availability zones. This field will also show you what your availability zone preference is, in brackets after the current availability zone. For instructions on how to selecting the availability zone for your instances, please see Managing your Elastic Image Configurations.
     • Attached Volumes — if you have configured your elastic instances to use EBS, the IDs of the attached EBS volumes will be displayed in this table.

     • Configuration — this is the name of the elastic image configuration that was used to create this elastic instance. Click the name to configure the elastic image.
     • AMI ID — this is the ID of the elastic image (i.e. Amazon Machine Image) that the elastic instance was created from (as part of the elastic image configuration).
     • EBS Snapshot ID — if you have configured your elastic instances to use EBS, the ID of the EBS snapshot that was used to create the EBS volumes attached to your instance will be displayed in this field.
