32.6. Stopping a container


Overview

There are times when you might want to stop then restart a container; for example, to recycle a hung container, force a container to reprovision itself, or to reclaim CPU cycles.

Procedure

To stop a container:
  1. If necessary, in Fabric Explorer, expand the tree of the fabric whose container you want to stop.
  2. Select the container and right-click it to open the context menu.
  3. Click Stop Container.
    Note
    To check whether the tooling stopped the container, click Containers in Fabric Explorer, and open the Properties view. You should see something similar to Figure 32.6, where myRoute was stopped successfully.
