<p>Shuts down a gateway. To specify which gateway to shut down, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway in the body of your request.</p> <p>The operation shuts down the gateway service component running in the gateway's virtual machine (VM) and not the host VM.</p> <note> <p>If you want to shut down the VM, it is recommended that you first shut down the gateway component in the VM to avoid unpredictable conditions.</p> </note> <p>After the gateway is shutdown, you cannot call any other API except <a>StartGateway</a>, <a>DescribeGatewayInformation</a>, and <a>ListGateways</a>. For more information, see <a>ActivateGateway</a>. Your applications cannot read from or write to the gateway's storage volumes, and there are no snapshots taken.</p> <note> <p>When you make a shutdown request, you will get a <code>200 OK</code> success response immediately. However, it might take some time for the gateway to shut down. You can call the <a>DescribeGatewayInformation</a> API to check the status. For more information, see <a>ActivateGateway</a>.</p> </note> <p>If do not intend to use the gateway again, you must delete the gateway (using <a>DeleteGateway</a>) to no longer pay software charges associated with the gateway.</p>
