> Users should be able to expunge VMs
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-8580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8580
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Reporter: Lennert den Teuling
> Priority: Minor
>
> When automating deployments of CloudStack (with for example Terraform) there
> are situations where VMs get recreated with the same name (and hostname).
> When VMs are destroyed by a user, the name will be reserved on the network
> until the VM truly gets expunged (depending on expunge.delay). Because of
> this, some automation tools cannot work because a new deployment with the
> same name gives an error.
> Users do not have the ability to directly expunge VMs (Only admin and
> domain-admins can), but they can destroy them and the admin can configure the
> expunge.delay where VMs truly get removed (expunged).
> Working with the expunge delay is very safe in case users accidentally remove
> a VM, but in some cases (when users know what they are doing) there should
> also be a option to completely remove the VM when destroying it (expunge).
> Ideally the admin should be able to configure this behavior trough the global
> settings, cause i believe the admin deliberately needs to turn it on (off by
> default).
> We have looked into making our clients domain-admin by default, but that
> gives them abilities we do not want to give, so we see no other way then just
> enabling expunge for the user.
