While I agree with the message, if cloud provider A has VM restarts every hour, and B has restarts every 6 months, all other things being equal I'm going to go with B. Restarts are a pain point for most systems, requiring data resynchronisation etc, so looking to minimise them is a good aim as long as it doesn't conflict much with other concerns... _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
