You can release idle pay-as-you-go Tair instances to reduce resource usage.
Prerequisites
- The billing method of the instances that you want to release is pay-as-you-go.
- Child instances that belong to one or more distributed instances must be released on the Global Distributed Cache tab of the Global Distributed Cache page in the Tair console. For more information, see Release a distributed instance.
Precautions
- Only instances in the Running state can be released.
- Instances that meet specific requirements are retained in the recycle bin for a specific period of time. You can unlock or restore these instances from the recycle bin. For more information, see Manage instances in the recycle bin.
- We recommend that you create backup files for the instance that you want to release and download these backup files. For more information, see Backup and restoration solutions.
