Nux created CLOUDSTACK-10449:
--------------------------------
Summary: GSoC 2022 Idea: Keep track of VM's "last known state" and
enforce it after an outage
Key: CLOUDSTACK-10449
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10449
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Management Server
Reporter: Nux
An infrastructure outage can take out several or all VMs. In the aftermath it's
not always possible to know which VMs were supposed to be ON or OFF, especially
if HA is not enabled. People keep powered off VMs around all the time for many
reasons.
I propose we add a feature where Cloudstack keeps track of the "last known
state" of a VM and after an outage either enforce it (ie start the VM or leave
it off) or at least show some information to the operator in the UI/API so they
can do it themselves; perhaps make this behaviour configurable in the global
settings.
Thanks
