Shutdown Cluster
It is the capacity to turn off all your cluster's resources at a specified scheduled time to avoid incurring costs during that time frame. When this feature is activated you will be able to turn ON or OFF your cluster at any time, even outside the scheduled time you've configured.
When your cluster is OFF, you will not be able to run any Build, Deploy or other actions that require its resources to run.
How can I activate this feature?
Cluster Shutdown should be manually activated in Cluster Settings through the "Scheduled Shutdown" card.
When you set the Cluster Shutdown, you're creating two cronjobs: one for turning ON the cluster at the scheduled time and another for turning it OFF. The configuration fields are the following:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Days | The days that the Shutdown crons will run. |
| Auto Downtime (Local Time) | The hour at which the OFF action runs. It is shown in your local time. |
| Auto Uptime (Local Time) | The hour at which the ON action runs. It is shown in your local time. |
Below you will see a box that shows 'Generated Cron Expressions (UTC)', which displays the OFF and ON cron expressions for these two actions in UTC time.
How can I shutdown my cluster at any time?
In order to shutdown a cluster, just click on the Stop button and confirm the action.
This action can be performed just in Active clusters.
Shutdown requires that no dependencies are being updated, and no build or execution processes are active.
Turning On cluster
To turn on a cluster, click on the Play button and confirm the action.
This action is available for clusters in Scheduled Shutdown and Off status
The cron actions that turn the cluster ON or OFF based on the scheduled time will still run even if you have manually turned it ON or OFF.
