Restarting a Container Instance

• Console
• CLI
• API

• Note
  
  When you restart a container instance, any data on the ephemeral storage is lost.

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Developer Services. Under Containers & Artifacts, click Container Instances.

  2. Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the container instance.

  3. Click the name of the container instance that you're interested in.

  4. Click Restart.

     Note
     
     If containers take more time to stop than the timeout allows, the service terminates them. When a container stops or restarts, any data on the ephemeral storage is lost and the containers are recreated with new ephemeral storage.

  5. Click Restart container instance.

• Use the container-instances container-instance restart command to restart a container instance.

  To use this command, replace id with your resource.

  $ id=ocid1.computecontainerinstance.oc1.iad.example
  $ oci container-instances container-instance restart --container-instance-id "$id"

  For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

• For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST API documentation and Security Credentials. For information about SDKs, see Software Development Kits and Command Line Interface.

  To manage the lifecycle state of container instances, use these operations:

  • StartContainerInstance
  • RestartContainerInstance
  • StopContainerInstance
