Turn off Google Cloud Memorystore?

This might be a stupid question. I'm just curious. I'm new to Redis and would like to experiment with it. However, I would like to turn the instance on and off whenever I am experimenting as I want to save on costs rather than have the instance running all the time.

But I don't see a stop button like other products such as compute. Is there a reason for this?

Thank you

To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used in this quickstart:

Go to the Memorystore for Redis page in the Cloud Console. Memorystore for Redis Click the instance ID of the instance you want to delete. Click the Delete button. In the prompt that appears, enter the instance ID. Click Delete.

You won't be able to manage a Cloud Memorystore for Redis instance as a Compute Engine instance as they are different products with different billing requirements and therefore you can't stop a Cloud Memorystore for Redis instance.

If you are only interested in learning more about Redis you can always install Redis on a Compute Engine instance (see the following tutorial for a clear path as to how to accomplish this or this other tutorial as to how to accomplish this task using docker) and afterwards delete the Compute Engine instance in order for charges to stop accruing.
