stop

Stop (deallocate) a Server; halts compute billing and releases its public IP

Usage

ionosctl compute server stop [flags]

Aliases

For server command:

[s svr]

For stop command:

[off]

Description

Use this command to stop a Server in a Virtual Data Center. The machine is forcefully powered off (this is NOT a graceful OS shutdown) and its compute resources (cores + RAM) are DEALLOCATED, so per-server compute billing ceases. Attached storage Volumes are kept and continue to be billed; the data on them is preserved.

Any public IP allocated to the Server is released on stop, and a new one is typically assigned when you server start it again — so do not rely on the IP staying the same across a stop/start cycle.

Note the difference from server suspend: stop applies to any server type and fully deallocates compute, whereas suspend is a CUBE-only pause. Use server start to power a stopped server back on.

Use --wait (-w) to wait for the resource to reach AVAILABLE state. You can force the command to execute without user input using --force option.

Required values to run command:

• Data Center Id

• Server Id
