Introduction

Restarts a Cloud Foundry application by calling the CF V3 POST /v3/apps/:guid/actions/restart endpoint. This is an instantaneous action — the app's desired state remains STARTED throughout, but the underlying processes are recycled.

Use Cases

• Validate that an app restart doesn't cause cascading failures in dependent services.
• Verify that traffic drains gracefully before process termination.
• Test that the app recovers correctly after a process-level recycle.

Parameters

This action has no configurable parameters.

Note on App State

A restart operation recycles the underlying processes without changing the app's desired state — it remains STARTED throughout. To observe a STOPPED state, use the Stop App action instead.
