When Autoscaling is enabled, its a long winded process to 'stop' the cluster and come back to it later. We need to provide functionality from flight compute to pause the autoscaling, shutdown the compute nodes then allow the user to 'stop' the login node.
When resumed, the user should be able to resume the compute nodes, from the same state the ASG was at before the pause.
