<div dir="ltr">I do agree but it create an extra requirement for Undercloud if we high availability is important criteria. Because of this, undercloud has to be there 24x7, 365 days and to make it available we need to have HA for this also. So, you indirectly mean that undercloud also should be designed keeping high availability in mind.

mentioned we don't intend you to reboot machines without using the<br>
undercloud anyway, just like Nova doesn't expect you to reboot vms<br>
directly via libvirt (or your driver of choice).<br>

It's likely there would be other issues booting a deployed machine if<br>
the undercloud is down anyway (nothing to respond to DHCP requests, for<br>
one), so I don't see that as something we want to encourage anyway.<br>
