Comment on Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times?

  No Donny it’s not. You’re out of your element here.

    But it is. They’re stopped and deallocated. They start up when demanded. And shutdown when below a threshold or a certain schedule.

      I’m starting to understand why British admins are paid so much less than their American counterparts.

        You do understand, when you have VM’s set to auto scale, they shutdown when not in use, if you’re using horizontal scaling.

  Most of us don’t have clusters so shutting down the server means taking the server and all associated services completely offline.

  Do you take your product completely offline for 8 hours every single day?

  Right you don’t shut them down, you scale them down. My server also uses less power off peak demand.

    No we shut them down. They get deallocated the same way as shutting down a virtual server does. They’re not containers, the scaling part just turns them on and off based on workload or schedule
