Terminating Instances
Instances can be ended with the euca-terminate-instances. It accepts one or more instance ids as arguments.

Caution
Simply shutting down or powering off an instance does not terminate it in Nova. You need to actually use the euca-terminate-instances command to release their resources. This is different behavior than you may be used to from Amazon EC2.
