# Suspend
|
|
|
|
**Command: `vagrant suspend [name|id]`**
|
|
|
|
This suspends the guest machine Vagrant is managing, rather than fully
|
|
[shutting it down](/docs/cli/halt.html) or [destroying it](/docs/cli/destroy.html).
|
|
|
|
A suspend effectively saves the _exact point-in-time state_ of the machine,
|
|
so that when you [resume](/docs/cli/resume.html) it later, it begins running
|
|
immediately from that point, rather than doing a full boot.
|
|
|
|
This generally requires extra disk space to store all the contents of the
|
|
RAM within your guest machine, but the machine no longer consumes the
|
|
RAM of your host machine or CPU cycles while it is suspended.
