Stop, Restart, and Terminate a Solution

When you stop a solution, you shut down the virtual machine instance. The TigerGraph database is frozen in its current state. Billing for that machine instance also stops. Scheduled backups also stop, but the backup copies are kept in EFS on AWS, Azure Files on Azure, and GCP Filestore on GCP. You will still incur charges for disk storage and backups when a solution is stopped. You can start the solution again. After a warm-up period, the solution will return to its previous state.

After a solution has been terminated, it can be archived so that it no longer shows up on the default view in the list of solutions.
