release environments pause

Command reference doc for the Release CLI

Pause a running environment

Description

Pause a running ephemeral environment to save resources while preserving its state.

The environment's containers will be stopped but not removed, allowing you to resume the environment later without losing any data or configuration.

If the --wait flag is passed, the command will wait until the environment is fully paused before exiting. This is useful for automation scripts and CI/CD pipelines.

release environments pause [ENVIRONMENT_ID or HANDLE] [flags]

Examples

Pause an environment by ID:
> release environments pause v9mc2jlz --account my-account --app my-app

Pause an environment by handle:
