Pausing/Resuming Environments
How to pause/resume individual environments
Instant datasets are often the main driver of costs on clusters especially if your data requires larger instances. However the environments are not utilized at all times and we can take advantage of that to pause them and reduce costs.
Keep in mind that you can only pause ephemeral environments.
All the operations are done from the environment's Settings page
- 1.Go to your environment's Settings and click Pause
Note that this operation can take several minutes to finish.
- 1.Go to your environment's Settings and click Resume
Note that this operation can take several minutes to finish.
You can setup a schedule for pausing and resuming your ephemeral environment so that you can take advantage of the cost savings automatically. Optionally you can set the schedule to keep the environments paused during weekends.
- 1.Go to your environment's Settings and click Schedule
- 2.Select the hours alongside the timezone for those, whether or not to stay paused during weekends and then Save the schedule
- 1.Go to your environment's Settings and click Schedule
- 2.Select Clear and then Save your changes
Only pause on Saturdays and Sundays is checked above
If you'd like to pause your database(s) on the weekends, check the box next to Only pause on Saturdays and Sundays. This will pause your database(s) at 12am on Saturdays in the Timezone selected. It will resume your database(s) at 12am on Mondays in the Timezone selected. Click Save to save your changes.
If your application has a default schedule, non-production environments will use that schedule to pause/resume
If you wish to remove the default application schedule, click on Schedule and then Remove Default Schedule
This will now remove all schedules from your environment.
If you want to set a new schedule specific to this environment click Schedule and follow the instructions under Setting a pause / resume schedule
