--------------------------------------
Summary: Azure: suspending a node also deallocates it
Key: JCLOUDS-1139
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-1139
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jclouds-labs
Affects Versions: 1.9.2
Reporter: Ladislav Thon
(Note that this is about the "classic" {{azurecompute}} provider, _not_ about
{{azurecompute-arm}}.)
The {{AzureComputeServiceAdapter.suspend}} calls the
{{VirtualMachineApi.shutdown}} method with a parameter of
{{StoppedDeallocated}}. Per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj157195,
this parameter makes Azure release all the resources used by the VM. This
causes the suspend operation to take a lot of time and any other following
resume will also take a lot of time.
I think there should be an option that would cause
{{AzureComputeServiceAdapter.suspend}} to call the
{{VirtualMachineApi.shutdown}} method with a parameter of {{Stopped}}. That
way, suspending and resuming are much faster.
Tearing down the VM entirely (i.e. {{destroyNode}}) would still always use
{{StoppedDeallocated}}.
