Pause/resume environments
How to pause and resume Instant Datasets in individual environments
Instant Datasets can drive up the costs of your clusters, especially if your data requires larger instances. However, since environments are not used at all times, you can pause them to reduce costs.
Keep in mind that you can only pause ephemeral environments.
The following operations are done from the environment Settings page.
Manually pause Instant Datasets
In the environment Settings page, click Pause.
Note that it may take several minutes for this operation to complete.
Manually resume Instant Datasets
In the environment Settings page, click Resume.
Note that it may take several minutes for this operation to complete.
Set up a pause and resume schedule
You can set up a schedule to pause and resume Instant Datasets daily.
In the environment Settings page, click Schedule.
Select the times the Instant Datasets should pause and resume in the correct fields. To pause the environment over weekends, check the box for "Stay paused on Saturdays and Sundays".
Remove a pause and resume schedule
In the environment Settings page, click Schedule.
Select Clear and then Save your changes.
Pause on weekends only
To pause Instant Datasets only over weekends, leave the pause and resume time fields blank and check the "Stay paused on Saturdays and Sundays" box.
Your Instant Datasets will pause at 00:00 on Saturdays and resume at 00:00 on Mondays in the timezone selected. Click Save to save your changes.
Remove a default schedule
If your application has a default schedule, environments other than production will pause and resume Instant Datasets according to that schedule.
To remove the default application schedule, click on Schedule and then Remove default schedule.
This will now remove all Instant Dataset schedules from your environment.
To set a new schedule specific to this environment, click Schedule and follow the instructions under #setting-a-pause-resume-schedule.
