There is a pending PR awaiting merge that added VM snapshots to ACS for KVM.
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/977 In regards to why it hasn't been merged, that's a good question. Why don't you comment on the PR and ask that question. Community involvement is the best way to get features moving forward. I do agree though with Macro that snapshots are not really designed for BCDR purposes. - Si ________________________________ From: Marc-Aurèle Brothier <ma...@exoscale.ch> Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 2:31 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: KVM Live VM Snapshots Hi Asai, In my opinion, doing a VM snapshot is making a step in the wrong direction. Your applications/system running inside your VMs should be designed to handle an OS crash. Then a new VM, freshly installed, should be able to get back into your application setup so that you have again an appropriate number of healthy nodes.
