Is it possible to prevent the Bootstrap carousel play only on mouse hover?

Question

is it possible to make Bootstrap 4 Carousel to play ONLY on hover? Like normally it's a still image, but on mousehover it starts to cycle the carousel and on mouseout it pauses.

slider.html

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide carousel-fade slider slideInUp"
                data-ride="carousel">
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
                        <div class="tab-section">
                            <div class="user">
                                <ul class=" carousel-indicators">
                                    <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="0"
                                        class="active wow slideInUp " data-wow-delay=".1s">
                                        <a href="" class="transition-fast">

     $('#carousel-example-generic').hover(function(){
   $("#carousel-example-generic").carousel('cycle');
},function(){
   $("#carousel-example-generic").carousel('pause');
});

First disable the default behaviour of the carousel to stop on hover by putting setting the data-pause to false

id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide carousel-fade slider slideInUp" data-pause="false"

Use the following js to manage the hover behaviour

  $('.carousel').carousel({
    interval: 2000
  })

  $('.carousel').carousel('pause') ;

  $('.carousel').hover(function(){
    $('.carousel').carousel('cycle') ;
  }) ;

  $('.carousel').mouseleave(function(){
    $('.carousel').carousel('pause') ;
  });
