title: Is there a way to turn on AWS instances using available APIs
body: <p>As per EC2 documentation, we have action of start and stop instances in the below format</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://ec2.amazonaws.com/?Action=StartInstances&amp;InstanceId.1=i-xxxxxxxx&amp;AUTHPARAMS
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, what are all the parameters needed for auth params. Also if I try to hit without auth params the response I get is Start instance action not supported.But as per documentation the response should be unauthorised operation. Does this mean I don't have access to turn on in this way?</p>
  
  <p>Also it would be really helpful if there are any other alternatives to turn on AWS remotely.</p>
