Manage Instances
Start an Instance
- Go to Console - Instances.
- In the instance list, locate the instance you want to start.
- Click the Start button on the right side of the instance entry.
- Confirm the Start action.
- The system will automatically initiate the instance. Please be patient during the startup process.
Stop an Instance
- Go to Console - Instances.
- In the instance list, find the instance you need to stop.
- Click the Stop button on the right side of the instance entry.
- Confirm the Stop action in the pop-up window.
Before proceeding with the shutdown operation, please ensure that all work is saved to avoid data loss. The system and data disks of the instance are both local disks. Local data disks offer superior performance but lack redundant copies and are subject to the inherent lifespan limitations of local storage, which may lead to failures. It is advisable to regularly back up important data to the cloud or locally, as Novita AI does not provide reliability commitments or services for such local storage products.
Data retention rule for instances: Data remains as long as the instance exists. Even if the instance is shut down, local storage will still incur charges unless the instance is released. Instances are released after being shut down continuously for 7 days, at which point all data in the instance will be erased.
Release an Instance
- In the instance list, find the instance and click the More button.
- In the action menu, select the Release Instance option.
- A confirmation prompt for release will appear. After verifying that the information is correct, click Confirm to release the instance.
Please note that releasing an instance will result in all data being permanently deleted.
