Stopping an Instance

Redis 4.0 and later instances support instance stop. When an instance is stopped, data reading or writing is stopped so that the instance cannot be modified, configured, backed up, or migrated. You can neither change the password nor analyze the cache.

A Redis instance is in the Running state by default, or is in the Stopped state after you stop it. Stopping an instance does not affect its billing.

Before stopping an instance (except for single-node ones), ensure that you have backed up its data. For details, see Backing Up and Restoring Instance Data.

Procedure

Log in to the DCS console.
Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.
Locate the row containing the instance to be stopped and click Stop in the Operation column.
A dialog box is displayed. Click Yes. When the instance is in Stopped state, the instance is stopped.

To restart the instance, click Start in the Operation column.
