Best way to sporadic use of a VM #37

Open mingodad opened 3 years ago

mingodad commented 3 years ago

I just got access to the Minicloud and created a small Ubuntu 18.04 vm for test compiling some opensource software and probably will need it again from time to time. What is the best way to use this vm in the future but meanwhile have it turned off:

Pause Instance ?
Suspend Instance ?
Shelve Instance ? I mean I do not want to consume resources while I'm not using it and in doing so more users can use this servers with less resource stress.

@mingodad shut off instance It is enough. Another option is to create a snapchot and delete the VM. And when you need it again, just create a new VM through Snapchot, not image.
