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 the VM Machines page in the Azure portal.
2. Click the link for the Kraken Azure instance to open the detail view and click Stop.
