Stopping the Instance

You can stop and deallocate your server instance, while keeping all configurations active. After the instance is stopped, no further running charges are applied.

Important

Please be aware that simply shutting down your server via the Console UI does not deallocate your instance, and you will continue to be charged for the running instance. To avoid unwanted charges, you must stop the virtual machine.

To stop your server instance:

1. Navigate to Virtual machines in the Azure portal.
2. Find and click on your Media Gateway/SRT Gateway virtual machine, then click Stop.
