IBM Cloud: How to disable analytics engine when unused?


I using Analytics Engine on IBM Cloud, but I can't see anywhere how I can stop it when I'm not working. So it takes one day to consumes all my credit as I'm using a Lite account. How to stop it or pause it when I'm not working?

Solution

  • The Lite plan for the Analytics Engine cannot be paused according to the service FAQ:

    The node-hours cannot be paused, for example, you cannot use 10 node-hours, pause, and then come back and use the remaining 40 node-hours.

    The only option to use the cluster longer is to scale it down when not in use. Resizing an Analytics Engine cluster can be done in different ways.
