Manage Instances

This guide provides an overview of how to create, update, and delete instances.

Create an Instance​

The region must support the instances:create capability in order to create an instance.

Use the fluidctl instances create command to create a new instance. As an example, you can create an instance with the following command:

fluidctl instances create --name example --type cpu.8x
  • --name: The name of the instance.
  • --type: The instance type (e.g., cpu.8x, h100-hgx-80gb.8x).

Start an Instance​

Use the fluidctl instances start command to start an instance. As an example, you can start an instance named test with the following command:

fluidctl instances start --id <uuid>

Stop an Instance​

Use the fluidctl instances stop command to stop an instance. As an example, you can stop an instance named test with the following command:

fluidctl instances stop --id <uuid>

Delete an Instance​

The region must support the instances:delete capability in order to delete an instance.

caution

Deleting an instance is irreversible. Any data stored on the instance's boot disk will be permanently lost and cannot be recovered. Ensure you back up any important data before proceeding.

Use the fluidctl instances delete command to delete an instance. As an example, you can delete an instance named test with the following command:

fluidctl instances delete --id <uuid>
