Start a cluster

Suspended account notice

You can't start a cluster if your account was suspended.

In this case, resolve the issue yourself or contact support to re-activate your account, then go back to these instructions.

  1. Go to the Clusters overview page in the console.

  2. Find a Stopped cluster you want to start and click Start.

    The status of the cluster will change to Starting.

  3. Wait until the cluster's state changes to Alive.

Use the ClusterService start method and pass the cluster ID in the clusterId request parameter.

To find the cluster ID, get a list of clusters in the project.

Stop a cluster

When your cluster is Stopped, you don't pay for its CPU and RAM, but you're still billed for SSD Storage.

  2. Find a cluster you want to stop and click Stop.

    The status of the cluster will change to Stopping.

  3. Wait until the cluster's state changes to Stopped.

Use the ClusterService stop method and pass the cluster ID in the clusterId request parameter.

To find the cluster ID, get a list of clusters in the project.
