Starting and Stopping ECSs

You can start, stop, restart, or delete the ECS.

  • To prevent a sudden load increase, you are advised to start or stop a small number of ECSs at a time.
  • If an ECS remains in the Restarting or Stopping state for a long time, you can forcibly restart or stop it. In such a case, any unsaved data on the ECS will be lost. Therefore, exercise caution when forcibly restarting or stopping an ECS.

  2. Under Computing, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  3. In the ECS list, select the target ECSs.
