it would be great to mention how to resume a stopped instance, as there is no resume command.

Good point @dirkjot, thanks for the suggestion. Suspended instances can be resumed with the start command.

We should say this systematically for all commands that change the state of an instance. And we need to add a little to the documentation of this command in particular. I am adding tasks for us to do that later on.
