Pause and Resume a Cluster

Manual pause / resume​

Pause a cluster​

To pause a cluster, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the VeloDB Cloud console.
  2. In the left navigation pane, under Compute, click Clusters.
  3. Find the target cluster card and confirm that no workload is active.
  4. On the cluster card, click Pause.

The status changes to Pausing. No other operations are allowed until pausing completes. When pausing completes, the status changes to Paused.

Note:

  • Pausing a cluster takes about 3 minutes.
  • A paused cluster does not respond to business requests.
  • Metering and charging for compute stops during the pause; cache space continues to be metered.
  • Clusters containing monthly/yearly billing resources do not support pause/resume.

Resume a cluster​

To resume a cluster, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the VeloDB Cloud console.
  2. Find the paused cluster, and then click Resume.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, review the message, and then click OK.

The status changes from Paused to Resuming while VeloDB Cloud brings the compute resources back online and mounts the retained cache.

When the cluster resumes, its status changes to Running, and it can process requests.

Note:

  • The cluster does not respond to requests during resume.
  • After resume, metering and charging for the restored compute resumes.
  • Clusters containing monthly/yearly billing resources do not support pause/resume.

Auto pause / resume​

To automatically pause and resume idle clusters:

  1. Click the cluster card to open its Details page.
  2. In the top-right corner, click Set Auto Pause/Resume.
  3. Turn on Auto Pause/Resume.
  4. Set the idle-duration threshold.
