How do I unpause a cluster

Question

I paused a cluster I own in the east-2 region as a first step in a potential decommission. Turns out a few quicksight dashboards rely on this cluster. The cluster status says "Modifying - Pausing". How do I unpause this cluster? Is there a time frame for when the status will change from modifying?  I'm a beginner/novice when it comes to the technical side of AWS, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

Hi

Once the pause operation is completed, you can simply resume the cluster. This will start the cluster and your quicksight data sources will be able to access the cluster again.
