Stopping and starting a load balancer
You can stop and restart a network load balancer as needed.
Stopping a network load balancer
- In the management console, select the folder where you need to stop a load balancer.
- Navigate to Network Load Balancer.
- Next to the load balancer you need to stop, click and select Stop.
- In the window that opens, click Stop.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.
To stop a load balancer with the ACTIVE status, run this command:
yc load-balancer network-load-balancer stop <load_balancer_name_or_ID>
You can get the load balancer ID and name with the list of network load balancers in the folder.
To stop a network load balancer, use the stop REST API method for the NetworkLoadBalancer resource or the NetworkLoadBalancerService/Stop gRPC API call.
You can get the load balancer ID with the list of network load balancers in the folder.
