This operation can be used in the following ways:
To get information on all instances that are deployed to a fleet's home Region, provide the fleet ID.
To get information on all instances that are deployed to a fleet's remote location, provide the fleet ID and location name.
To get information on a specific instance in a fleet, provide the fleet ID and instance ID.
Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.
If successful, an Instance object is returned for each requested instance. Instances are not returned in any particular order.
