I refer here to my question sent earlier to AskOpenstack:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/97425/why-it-is-not-possible-to-rebuild-an-instance-from-a-bootable-volume/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ask.openstack.org/en/<wbr>question/97425/why-it-is-not-<wbr>possible-to-rebuild-an-<wbr>instance-from-a-bootable-<wbr>volume/</a><br>
<br>
Are there some (architectural, performance, security etc.) reasons why rebuilding instances from (bootable) volumes is not implemented/supported?<br>
