If you are not using the Soperator cluster that you have deployed in Managed Service for Soperator, you can stop it in the web console to save costs. While the cluster is stopped, Managed Service for Soperator charges you for the cluster’s storage resources: the disks of worker, login and controller nodes, and the shared filesystem. The service does not charge you for the cluster’s computing resources (GPUs, vCPUs and RAM). When you need the cluster again, you can start it. Starting the cluster takes around 15 minutes. The cluster keeps the data that you saved in it, although you can only access it after you restart the cluster. Computing and storage resources of a stopped cluster count towards Compute quotas, just like a running cluster.

​
Prerequisites

Make sure you are in a group that has at least the editor role within your tenant; for example, the default editors group. You can check if you are in this group in the Administration → IAM section of the web console.
