Note that the workspace admin
password is configured when the workspace is first created.admin
by default.
View Database Storage Usage and Cost

-
Navigate to the organization name in the left nav (ORG:) > Billing & Usage > Usage Estimate > Storage Usage to view storage used
-
Navigate to the organization name in the left nav (ORG:) > Billing & Usage > Usage Estimate > Billable > Avg GB Stored to view the monthly storage cost
-
Note that the storage cost is billed in US dollars (
$
) and the storage price is dependent on the deployment region that was selected when the database was created.
Resize a Workspace
Workspace size can be modified by simply selecting another size in the Cloud Portal.
To resize a workspace, in the Overview tab, on the workspace card, click the action menu () and select Resize Workspace.
Suspend and Resume a Workspace
Workspaces do not need to be running when there is no active workload querying a database.
Databases will be retained as long as the Workspace Group containing the database exists.
Suspend a Workspace
To suspend charges for a Workspace simply terminate the workspace.
Resume a Workspace
To resume operation simply create a new workspace within the workspace group and attach the database(s) you want to query.
Auto Suspend a Workspace
Auto suspend allows you to configure a workspace to automatically suspend either after a set period of time or after a period of inactivity.
There are two types of auto suspend: Idle and Scheduled.
-
Idle: the workspace will get suspended after X seconds of engine inactivity.
The time only takes effect from the point when the settings are enabled. For example, if you set it for 30 minutes but the workspace already has an engine idle time of one hour before the settings are enabled, then the workspace will get suspended only after 30 minutes from the time the settings are enabled. -
Scheduled: the workspace will get suspended after X seconds have passed, irrespective of its activity.
(Note: this type of auto suspend is not available for Trial users. )
The task that auto-suspends the workspaces runs every 5 minutes, so there can be a maximum difference of five minutes between the time when the workspace should be suspended and when it will actually get suspended.
Once a workspace is resumed, you can either keep the previous auto suspend settings or disable them.
The default auto suspend settings at the time of workspace creation are:
-
For trial users, the settings are enabled by default to 10 minutes of idle time.
-
For standard users, the settings are disabled by default.
Terminate a Workspace
To terminate a running workspace, in the Overview tab, on the workspace card, click the action menu vertical ellipses ( ) against your workspace name and select Terminate Workspace.
