> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Jumani
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc2022, mentor
>
> Shutting down / Restarting Cloudstack is a necessary step in upgrades, system
> maintenance, etc. As of now, there is no way to safely shutdown or restart
> CloudStack. It is directly terminated via systemd. Since this is the case,
> any asyncronous job or background task is abrubptly terminated and can fail.
> As of now, CloudStack maintains a list of asynchronous jobs wihtin it's
> database along with their status.
> This idea aims to provide a way to safely shutdown CloudStack. It involves
> two parts :
> * Prevent new asynchronous jobs from being added to CloudStack when a safe
> shutdown is triggered
> * Check the status of the async jobs and Shut down CloudStack when all the
> jobs have been completed
>
> Provide the ability to safely shutdown CloudStack
> Add API (and/or UI) support to :
> * Trigger a safe shutdown
> * (Optional) Support restarts
> * (Optional) Support a forced shutdown when CloudStack will quit even if
> there are async jobs running
>
> Duration
> * Some Experience : 175 hours
> * Newbie : 350 hours
