[occi-wg] Question about Compute instance action

[Andy Edmonds]

Hi Kim,
The required functionality is in the specification as an Action against an
instance specified by its URL. Please see Section 3.1 (table 3, 2nd row) of
the Infrastructure specification [1] and also the Core specification [2] for
more details on Actions. 'stop' will result in termination. In [3] there are
examples of such Actions (e.g. pg 11). On review of the noted sections there
is no explicit specification of a stop-terminate state change as you note.
It's a good catch and the Infrastructure specification will be updated to
reflect this, should no one else here have an objection to the change?

Thanks!

Andy
