What a suspend does, in order

To suspend a service is to stop it and keep all that it has. The settings, the variables, the deploys and the data on the disk stay.

While the service is suspended

What	Result
A request to the service	The proxy answers `503`.
The schedule of a cron job	No run starts.
A push to GitHub, or a blueprint	No deploy starts.
The deploy hook	It answers `409`.
`ferry deploy`	Ferry refuses. Resume the service first.

Terminal

ferry resume api

Deploys with a disk

A service with a disk has one instance. A deploy stops the old instance before it starts the new one.

Resume a service

A resume starts the instances of the live deploy again. There is no new deploy and no build.
