Hi All, Currently in cloudstack we need to associate every vm with a service offering and also we cannot specify the size of the root disk when using templates i.e. we cannot specify different size of root disks while using the same template.
I would like to propose a feature to allow VM creation without the need to choose the fixed amount of compute mentioned in the pre created service offerings. Also allow users to specify the size of the root disk while using templates. users can specify their own compute requirements at the time of VM creation, if they do not want to use fixed values in the pre created service offerings. This is similar to the custom disk offering. This will Allow 1.) Admins to create service offerings by marking cpu, memory and root disk as dynamic parameters. 2.) users to use this dynamic service offering to specify the memory, cpu and root disk at the time of VM creation or upgrade. 3.) Metering of these dynamically assigned resources for usage details. I have created a feature bug for this. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4738 Regards, Bharat.
