Manage cost control rules in Lightsail for Research
Cost control uses rules that you define to help manage the usage and cost of your Lightsail for Research virtual computers.
You can create a Stop virtual computer on idle rule that stops a running computer when it reaches a specified percentage of its CPU utilization during a given period. For example, a rule can automatically stop a specific computer when its CPU utilization is equal to or less than 5% during a 30-minute period. This signifies that the computer is idle, and Lightsail for Research stops the computer. You no longer incur the standard hourly charges after the virtual computer is stopped.
