Description |
allowed_actions |
array of string |
Yes |
|
What may be asked of this instance where it is, from the vocabulary start, stop, reboot, console, resize, rebuild, rescue, unrescue, delete, firewall, public_ip, protection, in that order. Any action not listed is refused with 409 vm_action_not_allowed. An instance in a region whose disks are single copies on one host allows start, stop, reboot and console only, and start and console only while it is protected; any other instance allows every action, less delete while it is protected. This is policy, not state: a listed action can still be refused for the state the instance is in. |
