How to pause a cloud instance

Note: This article relates to a product currently in beta testing.

When an instance is paused, it temporarily suspends the instance and the state of the instance is stored in memory (RAM). The paused instance continues to run in a frozen state. Follow these steps to pause an instance currently in an Active state.

PLEASE NOTE: You will still be charged for a paused instance. To avoid any charges, you should delete instances that are no longer needed.

Steps

  • 1
    Log in to your xneelo Cloud dashboard. 
  • 2
    Using the menu on the left, navigate to Compute > Instances.
  • 3
    On the right-hand side of the list of instances click on the dropdown button in the Actions column.
  • 4
    Select Pause Instance.
  • 5
    The Status column on the Instances page will display Paused if the action was successful.
