When you stop an orchestration, all the instances and other resources provisioned by the orchestration are permanently deleted.
Only the resources that are created by an orchestration are deleted. Orchestration must be in Ready or Shut_down status to be stopped.
Use the following command to stop an orchestration:
oracle-compute stop orchestration name [--confirm]
