Starting and Stopping a Cloud Stack

Use Oracle Cloud Stack to start and stop all of the cloud resources within an existing stack. The dependencies between the resources within a stack determine the order in which they are started and stopped.

Starting and Stopping a Cloud Stack with the Console

Use the web console to start or stop all of the resources in a stack.

1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Stack console and navigate to the Stacks page.

   You can also start and stop a stack from the Stack Details Page for a specific stack.

2. Click the menu to the right of the stack you want to start or stop.
3. Select Start or Stop.
4. If any of the resources in your stack support start or stop parameters, you will be prompted to provide values for them.
5. When prompted for confirmation, click OK.

The stack’s icon changes to indicate that it is in either the Starting or Stopping state. You can monitor the operation’s progress from the Activity Page.

Starting and Stopping a Cloud Stack with the CLI

Use the CLI to start or stop all of the resources in a stack.

1. Execute the stack start or stack stop command. Supply the name of the cloud stack:

   psm stack start -n name
   psm stack stop -n name

2. The output of the command includes a job ID number. Use the stack operation-status command to periodically check the state of the start or stop operation:

   psm stack operation-status -j jobID
