Instance Overview

Bare metal is a high-performance cloud server with exclusive physical resources. It has the advantages of lossless performance and resource isolation of physical servers, as well as high security and reliability on the cloud, as well as flexible and fast provisioning, meeting the needs of various applications for high performance and stability.

Instance lifecycle

From the time an instance is created to the time it is released, the instance may be in different states, which constitute the life cycle of the instance.

Instance status

Check the current status of the instance on the instance list page. The instance status is divided into stable state and intermediate state according to the attributes. The intermediate state is the state that the instance is temporarily in before reaching the stable state. If the instance is in the intermediate state for a long time, it means that an abnormality has occurred.

The states in the instance life cycle are shown in the following table.

Instance status	Status Attributes	Status Description
Creating	Intermediate state	Create a new instance or perform a reinstall operation on the instance, and the instance will soon enter a running state.
Running	Stable state	The instance is in the running state.
Restarting	Intermediate state	Perform a restart operation on the instance, and the instance is about to enter a running state.
Shutting down	Intermediate state	Perform a shutdown operation on the instance and the instance is about to enter the shutdown state.
Powered off	Stable state	The instance is in the shutdown state.
Powering on	Intermediate state	Perform a power-up operation on the instance, and the instance is about to enter the running state.
Pending recycling	Intermediate state	The instance has expired and is in a pending recycling state. We suggest that you renew the instance in a timely manner. If it is not renewed after the deadline, it will be automatically released.
