Workflows

start-instance
Start a stopped compute instance and confirm it reaches RUNNING.
Reads the instance, performs the START action with an if-match guard, and polls the lifecycle state until the instance is RUNNING.
3 steps inputs: authToken, instanceId outputs: instanceId, lifecycleState
1
readInstance
Read the instance to confirm it exists and capture its current ETag for optimistic concurrency control on the start action.
2
startInstance
Perform the START action on the instance to power it on, guarded by the ETag captured when reading the instance.
3
pollRunning
Read the instance and check its lifecycle state. Repeat this step until the instance reports RUNNING.

  summary: Read a stopped instance, send the START action, then poll until it reports RUNNING.
  description: >-
    Powers on a stopped compute instance and confirms it came back online. The
    workflow reads the current instance to capture its ETag, issues the START
    instance action guarded by that ETag, and then polls getInstance until the
    lifecycle state becomes RUNNING. Every step spells out its request inline so
    the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI
    description.
