Stop, Start, and Restart a Cluster

Administrators can stop, start, and restart a cluster.

To stop, start, or restart a cluster:
  1. Open the service console. See Access the Service Console for Big Data Cloud.
  2. From the Menu icon menu for the cluster, select and confirm the desired action.

    • Stop: When you stop a cluster, you can’t access the cluster and you can’t perform management operations on it except to start the cluster or delete it. Stopping a cluster is like pausing it. You won’t be billed for compute resources, but you will be billed for storage.

    • Start: When you start a cluster, you can access it again and perform management operations. Starting a cluster is like taking it off pause. Billing for compute resources resumes.

    • Restart: When you restart a cluster, the cluster is stopped and then immediately started again. The information about stopping and starting a cluster applies to restarting a cluster as well, just in immediate succession.
