# Using AWS OpsHub to Manage Devices {% hint style="info" %} This page was generated from content adapted from the [AWS Developer Guide](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-snowball-developer-guide.git) {% endhint %} ## Managing Your Devices * **Important**\ We highly recommend that you suspend all activities on the device before you reboot the device. Rebooting a device stops running instances, interrupts any writing to Amazon S3 buckets on the device, and stops any write operations from the file interface without clearing the cache. * **Important**\ We highly recommend that you suspend all activities on the device before you shut down the device. Shutting down a device stops running instances, interrupts any writing to Amazon S3 buckets on the device, and stops any write operations from the file interface without clearing the cache. ## Automating Your Management Tasks * **Note**\ Automating tasks is not supported on clusters.\ To use tasks, the Amazon EC2 Systems Manager service must be started first. To start a service on your Snowball Edge, see [Starting a Service on Your Snowball Edge](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_snow_family/using-client-commands.md#edge-start-service). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
