You cannot execute administrative actions such as deleting, resizing, shutting down, or pausing an instance while it is locked. It is always advisable to lock an instance while you are not working on it so that unintentional actions like deleting and resizing cannot be performed.

Step 1: to your account.
Step 2: Navigate to Compute and then click on Instances.
Step 3: Select the instance you want to lock, click the drop-down menu, and select Lock Instance.
