If you snapshot the instance, you can simply re-launch from that snapshot using the g1.24hr-auto-destruct flavour and booting from your snapshot. If your data was stored on the ephemeral disk (not recommended), the data will be accessible there. Data stored on a volume can simply be attached to any other instance (including non-GPU instances) and accessed from there.

How do I resume my GPU instance?

If you wish to resume your instance that has been shelved after your allocation has ended you can do so by:

  1. Go to your instance's page and extend your lease for 24 hours exactly as you would if you want your GPU for more than 24 hours. Your lease is NOT renewed when you unshelve your instance.
  2. Choose Unshelve as an option from the dashboard or issue openstack server unshelve if you are using the OpenStack command line clients. If a GPU is available your instance will then launch.

If GPUs are not available, you will receive an error that it could not launch. However your instance's data will not be lost. Please try again later as GPUs do become available.
