Stopping and starting OpenSearch clusters
You can stop and restart OpenSearch clusters, if required. When a cluster is stopped, all data in it is retained and will be available again when you restart the cluster.
You are not charged for the time when your cluster is stopped; however, you still have to pay for the storage size based on the pricing policy.
Alert
If a cluster uses local SSD storage (local-ssd
), its computing resources are not released when it's stopped. This means that you are charged in full even for a stopped cluster.
Stopping a cluster
- In the management console
, go to the folder page and select Managed Service for OpenSearch. - Find the cluster you need in the list, click the
icon, and select Stop cluster. - In the dialog box that opens, confirm that you want to stop the cluster and click Stop.
To stop a cluster, use the stop REST API method for the Cluster resource or the ClusterService/Stop gRPC API call and provide the cluster ID in the clusterId
request parameter.
You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.
