Deleting and Re-creating Instances

After creating instances in Compute Classic by using an orchestration, you can delete and re-create the instances at any time by stopping and starting the orchestration that defines the instances.

Caution:

When you stop an orchestration, all the objects defined in it—instances, storage volumes, security lists, and so on—are deleted. Note that any objects that are created outside the orchestration and merely associated with the instances in the orchestration being deleted remain intact when you stop the orchestration.
Task Procedure / CLI Command
1. Stop the orchestration. orchestration update
2. Monitor the status of the orchestration. orchestration get

After all the objects defined in the orchestration are deleted, the status of the orchestration changes to stopped.

3. Start the orchestration. orchestration update
4. Monitor the status of the orchestration. orchestration get

After all the objects defined in the orchestration are created, the status of the orchestration changes to ready.
