The command is using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to get the state of an Amazon Lightsail instance.
Specifically, it is using the get-instance-state

The --instance-name
flag is used to specify the name of the instance for which you want to retrieve the state. The ${name}
is a placeholder that can be replaced with the actual instance name.
Overall, this command is used to fetch the current state (such as running, stopped, pending, etc.) of an Amazon Lightsail instance with a specific name.
