Hey Mike , You don't have to necessarily stop the VM in case you want to scale up the CPU and RAM. With the introduction of this new feature in 4.2 (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+scaling+of+CPU+and+RAM ) , you can scale them up while the VMs are in the running state.

Once you've spun up a VM or created a data disk, is it possible to change the characteristics of said VM or data disk (like give more RAM to the VM, increase the size of the volume, etc.)?
