Problem: Some deployers of Exosphere prefer volume-backed instances as the default
Problem/Opportunity Statement
There is community desire (from @ajneil et al.) to have new instances default to volume-backed (boot from volume).
What would success / a fix look like?
Minimal fix:
- A configuration flag, probably in cloud-specific configuration, to choose a volume-backed instance by default.
- The size of the boot volume defaults to the root disk size of the selected flavor.
More sophisticated fix:
- Perhaps Exosphere recognizes some flavor metadata that says "instances created from this flavor should be volume-backed by default".
