> @DaanHoogland, I appreciate your input, and I understand your concern about potential confusion. However, I believe that using 'Instances' rather than 'VM Instances' aligns with industry-standard terminology and provides a cleaner and more straightforward experience for users. Many cloud platforms, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and OpenStack, use the term 'Instances' to refer to their virtual machines, so adopting this term in CloudStack would promote consistency across the industry. Additionally, simplifying the terminology to 'Instances' can help reduce clutter in the UI and improve overall usability. While there might be a slight learning curve for existing users, I think the long-term benefits of adopting 'Instances' outweigh any initial confusion. Let me know if you have any other concerns or suggestions, and I'm happy to discuss further. Thank you! I think this is a very bad argument for two reasons: 1. if instance is accepted in the industry, VM instance will certainly be accepted as well 2. if the industry collectively jumps of a cliff I will not follow suit. that said, start a discussion at dev@/users@ and find support. I will certainly not give it for this change. Instance is a multi-homonym and not a useful term as such. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
