To self-terminate an EC2 instance, follow the given steps:

  1. Start the instance with "--instance-initiated-shutdown-behavior terminate" or through the AWS console 
  2. Login as root user and run "shutdown -h now". On Ubuntu, you could set this up to happen in 55 minutes using:

    echo "sudo halt" | at now + 55 minutes
