Resource States

When viewing a project space, you can see the resources that it contains. For each resource you can see its current state (Running, Stopped, and so on). If there is a process currently executing (for example, you are 'connecting' to a virtual desktop), this is indicated with a spinning icon and message in the resource table row.

The state can indicate:

• Whether the resource is usable at the current time

• An active transition to a different state

• An issue with the resource

Possible states include:

State	Description
[Resource type] requested	A request is being made to provision a resource. For example, if you are creating a virtual desktop, the state displayed is 'Virtual desktop requested'. During this time, hardware availability in the selected availability zone is being determined.
Starting	The resource is powering up.
Installing	The operating system and applications are being installed.
Creating image	The first time that a cluster with a specified package is created in a selected availability zone, a cluster image is created. When subsequent clusters of the same type are created in the same availability zone, the image file will be used to speed up cluster creation.
Running	The resource is fully up and running. It is ready to do work.
Stopping	A transitional state between Running and Stopped. The resource is being shut down.
Stopped	The resource is powered off and no longer running. You are not being billed for compute time.
Resizing	A virtual machine's hardware size is being updated.
Deleting	The resource is in the process of being deleted from the project space.
Failed	Usually indicates that there is an issue with AWS.
Preparing image conversion	A virtual desktop is about to be converted to an OS image.
Converting to image	A virtual desktop is being converted to an OS image.
