Pausing your workspace helps you to spare your budget. The configuration of your workspace and the current data on it are preserved.

That way, you do not have to spend time to set up your machine every time you start a workspace.

If the cloud provider of the workspace allows for it, you can pause your workspace.

Use the "PAUSE" button next to the access button.

The workspace will enter the state "pausing" and fianlly be in the state "paused".

Accounting "paused"

While your workspace is paused, it will not consume any CPU or GPU credits.

For storage, however, your account will still be charged.

If a persistent storage volume is attached to the paused workspace, it will stay "in-use".

Resume

To start using your workspace again, click the "RESUME" button on the paused workspace.

The workspace will enter the state "resuming"

Once the workspace is back in the state "running", you can access it again.

The persistent storage will still be attached.

Consistency

In order to prevent unpredictable behaviour, make sure that no changes are made by users after the "PAUSE" button has been clicked.

Make sure that any data processing is stopped and that no users are logged in before you pause your workspace.
