Pause all containers to save battery

Tell us about your request
So when I unplug my new MBP from it's power brick and have my K8s cluster running in kind my battery can be empty in 15 minutes 😂

Which service(s) is this request for?
Docker Desktop 👍

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Shutting down Docker Desktop can take time even on fast hardware today if you have a bunch of containers running. Is it possible to add a Pause function that stops all machines but keeps everything in memory? The CPU usage is killing my battery.

Are you currently working around the issue?
No workaround, docker shutdown when moving to the conference room :(

@jakobjs thanks for the suggestion! We have discussed this before and it's a cool idea. Would you want a manual way to do this as well in the whale menu or just automated?

@nebuk89 A manual switch in the Whale menu would be nice plus an option in the config to toggle auto-pause on unplug.

Please try out Docker Desktop version 4.2.0! It introduces pause/resume and can be triggered from the whale menu.
