This was generated from feedback we received that its inconvenient to have to navigate to volumes. They felt that it should be reasonable to do this from the instances tab and do a volume snapshot on all volumes attached to that instance in a powered off state. > > > > > > Do you intend to restore all the volumes simultaneously?

And yes, I was assuming that it would be a VM snapshot (without memory). The Instance would be powered off, so it would be clean and no need for a memory snapshot. @scottsignal Currently, using KVM as the hypervisor, ACS does not support taking disk-only VM snapshots of stopped VMs. I am already working on a feature that will enable this behavior (You can take a look at #9524 if you want). However, I first need to merge #9270 before I can put more energy on this feature. So I expect it will only be available in 4.21.0.0 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
