PauseSession - Function Compute - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Operation description

Pauses an active session by persisting the state of its associated runtime environment and then releasing compute resources. After the call, the session status changes to Paused, and the session no longer accepts function invocation requests. This operation retains the session configuration (such as SessionTTL) and SessionID. You can use this operation to interrupt long-running tasks or save snapshots of development environments for cost optimization and state management. This operation applies to custom image functions configured with the HEADER_FIELD or GENERATED_COOKIE affinity type and session isolation.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
