Maintenance Mode is helpful for the following tasks:

  • Updating the version [./upgrading.md](see upgrading)
  • Backing up your data [./backup-and-restore.md](see backing up and restoring)
  • Emergency shutdown for any other reason you choose.

Entering Maintenance Mode

To activate Maintenance Mode, navigate to your instance dashboard and head for the Danger Zone.
