Wait for Fully Running
The server state is not updated to Running as soon as it is turned on and accessible – there may be other processes that Amazon is waiting on before it truly considers the server to be completely ready and updates the state to Running.
If the Wait for Fully Running option is enabled for an On Demand server, any user who turns on the server via a web request will be held on the waiting page until the server state in Amazon has updated to Running.
If this option is not enabled, the user will be forwarded to their destination web page as soon as there is a response from the server, irrespective of what the server state is on Amazon – the state may have updated to Running or it may still be Pending.
