Shutdown, Hibernate, and Delete

Shutdown and Delete

What is the difference between shutting down and deleting GPU instances?

Shutdown

Shutting down temporarily pauses your instance to allow technical operations like attaching or detaching volumes.

Shutdown instances continue to charge your account.

---

Delete

Deleting permanently removes the instance while preserving your data. All connected volumes are automatically detached and remain in your account for future use with other instances.

Instance charges stop immediately, but you'll continue to be charged for all detached storage volumes.
