Starting or Stopping a DCS 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 Running state by default, or is in Stopped state after you stop it.
  • Stopping an instance does not affect its billing.
