#Start & Stop Instance

Alauda Cache Service for Redis OSS provides one-click start and stop functionality to support operational flexibility in managing middleware instances. This capability is particularly valuable for temporarily releasing resources without deleting instances during maintenance windows, high node load scenarios, or in development/testing environments. Efficiently managing instance state helps optimize resource utilization and reduce operational costs.

#Stop Instance

Stopping a Redis instance gracefully suspends its operation while preserving configuration and persistent data.

#Prerequisites

The instance must be in one of the following states: Processing, Running, Abnormal, or Unknown.

#Procedure

#Features Unavailable During Stopped State

Feature	Limitation
Terminal Console	Terminal access to Redis instances is unavailable.
Actions	Instance operations including restart, update, and scheduling configuration changes are disabled.
Topology	Topology visualization is unavailable as the instance components are not running.
Parameter Configuration	Parameter updates and configuration exports cannot be performed.
User Management	User administration functionality is inaccessible.
Backup & Restore	New backup operations cannot be initiated.
Inspection	Inspection metrics and results for the stopped instance are invalid.
Access Method	Routing information may be unavailable or inaccessible.

#Start Instance

Starting a previously stopped Redis instance restores full functionality and service availability.

#Prerequisites

The instance must be in Stopping or Stopped state.

#Procedure

After the start operation completes successfully, the instance transitions to the Running state and all features become available again.
