# Instance Overview and Management

On `My Deployments` page, you can manage all your instances. 

#### 1. Instance overview

The instances are listed by status — **Running, Snapshotting, or Released** — along with their ID, Name, Cost, and available Actions.

* **Running** – The instance is active and accessible, billed per usage time.
* **Snapshotting** – The instance is creating a snapshot and is temporarily unavailable. No additional fees are charged during this process.
* **Released** – The instance has been terminated and its resources reclaimed. It cannot be restarted, and no further charges apply.<br>

#### 2. Instance Details

Click the `arrow icon` on the right to expand the instance details and access management options.

#### Access

**SSH (Port 22)**

SSH connection details:

* **SSH Command**: `ssh -p <Service Port> root@<Access URL>`
* **Service Port**: Port assigned to this instance
* **User**: `root` (default)
* **Password**: Initial password (masked)

* **Link** – View the HTTP address
* **Open** – Launch the link in a new browser tab
* **Copy** – Copy the URL
* **Edit** – Modify port settings *(if available)*
* **Delete** – Remove the configuration

**New Port Forwarding**

Click **New Port Forwarding** to add a rule:

* **Service Port** – Enter the port number
* **Protocol** – Select the protocol (default **TCP**). For web apps (e.g., JupyterLab, Dashboards), enable **HTTPS** for secure browser access.

#### 3. Instance Management (Running State)&#x20;

#### Take a snapshot of the current instance

You can create a snapshot of the current instance to preserve its full system state and file changes (not those in Data Hub). The snapshot includes installed packages, configurations, and all directory-level modifications. You can later use this snapshot as a **template** to quickly launch new instances without repeating the setup process.

❕During snapshot creation, the instance is temporarily inaccessible, so it’s recommended to create a snapshot before releasing it.

Click `Take Snapshot` and enter the required details

* **Name** – Specify a name for the snapshot.
* **Auto-release after saving** – If enabled, the instance will be automatically released once the snapshot is complete; otherwise, it will return to the *Running* state.&#x20;

#### Release the current instance

Releasing an instance frees its resources and changes its status to `Released`. Use this option when the instance is no longer needed, as it stops billing and reclaims allocated resources.&#x20;

Click  `Release`.

Click `Stop & Release` to confirm your action.

<br>

The status transitions from **Releasing** to **Released**. Instances in the Released state cannot be restarted. To create a new instance from a saved environment, select a **Snapshot** during instance creation.
