# Enable-VBRCloudMaintenanceMode

## Short Description
Enables Maintenance mode for the cloud infrastructure.

**Platform**: VMware, Hyper-V

**Product Edition**: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

Requires a cloud provider license.

## Syntax
```
Enable-VBRCloudMaintenanceMode [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet sets the cloud infrastructure into Maintenance mode to let a service provider perform Maintenance tasks.

Run the [`Disable-VBRCloudMaintenanceMode`](disable-vbrcloudmaintenancemode.md) cmdlet to bring the cloud infrastructure back to the normal operational mode.

::: important

When a service provider enables the Maintenance mode, cloud resources become temporarily inaccessible for the associated cloud tenants. As a result, most of the running jobs fail. For more information, see the [Maintenance Mode](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/cloud/cc_maintenance_mode.html?ver=120) section in the Veeam Cloud Connect Guide.
