# Maintenance of Compute virtual machines

The Compute service performs maintenance for all virtual machines, including nodes of [Managed Service for Kubernetes®](../../kubernetes) clusters and [Soperator](../../slurm-soperator/overview/why-slurm-soperator) clusters. To ensure that maintenance is performed successfully, [stop and start VMs](./stop-start) until the specified date. You can open the list of VMs via the red banner on the top of the screen. For example:

</Frame>

<Warning>
  If you do not stop VMs on time, the service will automatically stop them after the due date to perform maintenance. Delayed maintenance may cause VM instability.
</Warning>

If you need to keep your VMs running, [contact the support team](https://console.nebius.com/support/create-ticket) to request rescheduling maintenance of the affected VMs. You can request to reschedule it up to two times, and you can postpone the maintenance by up to seven days each time.
