# close-servers
<a name="close-server"></a>

Closes one or more Amazon DCV servers. When you close a Amazon DCV server, you make it unavailable for Amazon DCV session placement. You can't create Amazon DCV sessions on closed servers. Closing a server ensures that no sessions are running on it and that users can't create new sessions on it.
