Restarting an instance is a common approach for troubleshooting the Cloud GPU Service. Restarting a GPU instance is equivalent to restarting the operating system of a local PC.
Overview
Restart preparation: The instance cannot provide service during restart. Make sure the Cloud GPU Service has suspended service requests before you restart it.
Restart operation mode: It is recommended to use the restart operation below to restart the instance instead of running the restart command in the instance (such as the restart command in Windows and the Reboot command in Linux).
Restart time: Generally speaking, the restart operation only takes a few minutes.
Instance physical characteristics: Restarting an instance does not change the instance's physical characteristics. The instance's public network IP, private network IP, and any stored data do not change.
Billing related: Restarting an instance does not start a new instance billing period.
