Description

VM hibernation is now generally available for GPU Virtual Machines, providing a cost-efficient way to pause workloads while preserving in-memory state. This feature is supported on select sizes in the NVv4 and NVadsA10v5 VM series and is available on both Linux and Windows operating systems across all public regions. By leveraging hibernation, you can reduce compute costs by deallocating the VM and only pay for associated storage and networking resources.  

Hibernation on GPU is available for both new and existing VMs.
