http://ec2.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=ResetInstanceAttribute

Resets an attribute of an instance to its default value. To reset the <code>kernel</code> or <code>ramdisk</code>, the instance must be in a stopped state. To reset the <code>sourceDestCheck</code>, the instance can be either running or stopped. The <code>sourceDestCheck</code> attribute controls whether source/destination checking is enabled. The default value is <code>true</code>, which means checking is enabled. This value must be <code>false</code> for a NAT instance to perform NAT. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_NAT_Instance.html">NAT Instances</a> in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
