Pausing and Resuming Incredibuild Cloud

Pausing Incredibuild Cloud means that the Coordinator will no longer use any Cloud Helper VMs unless you resume.

During the pause period, the VMs are kept in a state of hybernation (or "stopped" in azure). To save on costs, you can also delete the Incredibuild Cloud pool of VMs, but we only recommend this if you plan to pause for a significant amount of time.

If you delete the pool during the pause period, when you will resume Incredibuild Cloud, the pool will be re-created based on your settings.  

This procedure differs slightly depending on which version of Incredibuild you are using.
