title: Start stopped EC2 instance in AWS via CloudFormation
body: <p>I have to start EC2 instances which are already stopped in my AWS account. I'm trying to build a CloudFormation script to do it.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is this possible via CloudFormation without using any Lambda functions?</li>
  <li>If not, what are the alternatives?</li>
  </ol>
