Theodore Vasiloudis commented on FLINK-2244:
--------------------------------------------
It would work differently for each provider, yes.
What I would like to have is to have scripts for launching, stopping and
restarting and shutting down a cluster for EC2 and GCE which I guess are the
most widely used platforms.
Yoka from [~mxm] provides some of these features, but then become more
accessible if they are part of the distribution.
In Apache Spark I'm able to do this and it becomes very useful when I want to
have an expensive cluster online to run a few experiments, and then stop it
when I no longer need it.
The cluster has persistent storage and I am able to access it again at a later
point when I want to run more experiments, in the meantime I'm only paying for
storage.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Theodore Vasiloudis
> Priority: Minor
>
> Being able to launch a cluster on GCE/EC2, run some jobs, stop it and restart
> it later, while having persistent storage attached is very useful for
> people/companies that need to run jobs only occasionally.
> Currently we can launch a cluster, but it's not possible to stop the
> instances when we don't need them, and then restart them to pick up where we
> left off.
