Exasol Personal administration
Learn how to manage an Exasol Personal deployment.
This article describes how to stop, start, and remove an Exasol Personal deployment. For more information about all administration tasks in Exasol, see Administration (on-prem).
Stop and start Exasol Personal
To save costs, you can temporarily stop the EC2 instance(s) that Exasol Personal is running on using the following command:
exasol stop
To start Exasol Personal again, use the following command:
exasol start
Networking and data volumes that the database data is stored on will continue to incur costs in your AWS account while the EC2 instances are stopped.
The IP addresses of the nodes will change when you stop and start Exasol Personal. Check the output of the start command to know how to connect to the deployment after a restart.
Remove Exasol Personal
To completely remove an Exasol Personal deployment, use exasol destroy. This command will terminate the EC2 instance and delete it and all associated resources in AWS.
To learn more about this command, use exasol destroy --help.
Deleting the deployment directory and Exasol Launcher will not remove the resources that were created in your AWS account. To completely remove a deployment, you must use the exasol destroy command.
If you have already deleted the deployment directory and Exasol Launcher, you must log in to the AWS console and manually terminate the EC2 instances and associated resources.
