Manage Instances

This guide covers how to manage your service instances after provisioning.

View your instances

Navigate to the Instances section to see all service instances in your current organization.

Instance listing

Click on any instance to see its detail page with configuration, status, and connection credentials.

Update an instance

  1. Navigate to the instance detail page.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Modify the configuration parameters as needed.
  4. Click Update to apply the changes.

Warning

Some parameters are immutable. Check the service-specific documentation for details on which parameters can be updated.

Pause an instance

Pausing stops the service from running without deleting anything. The configuration, data, and storage are all kept. Only the running workload is stopped.

  1. Navigate to the instance detail page.
  2. Click Pause.

To resume a paused instance, click Unpause on the instance detail page. The service starts again and becomes available with its data intact.

Instance size after unpause

Unpause always restores the instance to a single instance size. If the instance ran on a larger instance size before it was paused, adjust the instance size manually after unpausing (see Update an instance).

A paused instance does not cause any running costs. The only exceptions are storage and any cloud provider specific resources that remain allocated while the instance is paused.

Delete an instance

  1. Navigate to the instance detail page.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion in the verification dialog.

Instances are protected against accidental deletion: the portal requires you to explicitly confirm the action before the instance is removed. This deletion confirmation step is the safeguard against deleting an instance by mistake.

Danger

Deleting an instance is permanent. All data associated with the instance will be lost. Make sure you have backups of any important data before deleting.

View connection credentials

Connection credentials (hostname, port, username, password) are available on the instance detail page once the instance is fully provisioned. Use these credentials to connect your applications to the service.
