The key idea is to be able to schedule any action (migrate, reboot etc.), like for backups, snapshots or DR.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Do you ever wanted to plan a migration of your VMs from a host to another? Let's say every night at 11:00PM, let's do this, then shutdown the big noisy server.
|
||||
### Save on your electric bill
|
||||
|
||||
At 06:00AM, start the big server, and 10 minutes later, migrate the same VM back.
|
||||
* plan a live migration on your VMs at 11:00PM on a less powerful host, to shutdown the big one
|
||||
* start the big server at 6:00AM and migrate back VMs 15 minutes later
|
||||
|
||||
### Scale when needed
|
||||
|
||||
* schedule the boot of extra-VMs during your usual activity spikes (horizontal scaling)
|
||||
* also plan more vCPUs or RAM to these VMs at the same time
|
||||
* go back to the previous state when your planned load is low (e.g: during the night)
|
||||
|
||||
### Planned reboot
|
||||
|
||||
* your client app is not very stable, or you need to reboot every month after kernel updates: schedule this during the weekend!
|
||||
|
||||
### Test DR
|
||||
|
||||
* thanks to the DR feature of Xen Orchestra, you can also schedule a boot of your DR'ed VMs: this way, your DR plan can be auto-tested!
