[occi-wg] Question about Compute instance action

[Ralf Nyren]

Would the "stop-terminate" state be equivalent to a stop Action followed
by a removal of the Compute instance?

The state diagram in [1] page 6 has shows the "stop" action changing the
state from Active to Inactive. You mean to add another state Andy?

regards, Ralf
