Obviously, suspending a virtual machine saves the last state, and can be
resumed. I was just wondering what resources may be still tied up with a
suspended VM in contrast to an idle job. My thoughts and a bit of
research indicates that from a resources standpoint, all active
resources such as CPU, network and memory memory are released, and this
is essentially a powered off VM except for the .vmss file that is created=
