How Do I Pause and Resume a Workload on the CCE Console? How Do I Restart a Container?

Pausing and Resuming a Workload

On the CCE console, choose More > Pause in the Operation column at the same row as the target workload to pause it.

  • After a workload is paused, updates to the workload can be delivered but will not be applied to the pods inside it.
  • If you are performing a rolling upgrade, the rolling upgrade stops after the pause command is delivered. In this case, the new and old pods co-exist. During the period when a workload is paused, pods in this workload are still running.

When a workload is in the Paused state, you can choose More > Resume in the Operation column to resume it. After the workload is resumed, pods in the workload will be synchronized with the latest status of the workload.

Restarting a Container

To restart a pod, you can delete the pod on the workload details page. The pod will be restarted by the corresponding controller.

Figure 1 Deleting a pod to restart it

If you want to retain the workload, you can manually change the number of pods to 0 on the Scaling tab page. In this case, no pod is running in the workload.

If you do not need to retain the workload, you can delete it.
