| Limitations |
| =========== |
| |
| Although the external Instances behave a lot like CloudStack managed |
| Instances in many ways, there are some limitations. Some of these |
| limitations are due to the framework itself, while others can be addressed |
| by adding custom actions in the scripts written for the built-in extensions. |
| |
| **Some general features/actions not supported at the framework level:** |
| |
| - Data volumes. |
| |
| - User Data and Metadata services. |
| |
| - SSH key injection. |
| |
| - Affinity Groups. |
| |
| - Migrate Instance. |
| |
| - Host Capacity and Utilization Stats. |
| |
| - Add Nics to Instance post deployment. |
| |
| **Actions which can be implemented using Custom Actions in built-in extensions:** |
| |
| - Reinstall Instance. |
| |
| - Backup and Restore. |
| |
| - Recurring Snapshots. |
| |
| - Change Service Offering. |
| |
| - Resize Volume. |
| |
| - Attach ISO. |
