Starting, Stopping, and Deprovisioning an Appliance
You can start, stop, and deprovision an appliance in the Appliance Summary page.
Note: This feature is available to appliances provisioned through the portal to the AWS cloud platform.
• Starting an appliance starts the optimization service. The Start button is enabled only if the appliance is currently stopped.
• Stopping an appliance stops the optimization service. The Stop button is enabled only if the appliance is currently running.
• Deprovisioning an appliance deletes the configuration volume and all data store volumes. The license is reclaimed and available for reuse. The Deprovision button is enabled only if the appliance is not running. This operation cannot be undone.
