| <para>You can specify that you want to discard the root disk and create a new one whenever a given |
| VM is rebooted. This is useful for secure environments that need a fresh start on every boot and |
| for desktops that should not retain state. The IP address of the VM will not change due to this |
| operation.</para> |
