Hello Eugen,

I got what you mean, but "So as long as the compute nodes 
and the network infrastructure are running we can work, the less 
important VMs are not reachable during that time, of course, but it 
doesn't really hurt anybody."

Can you explain this to me?

That's depending on your use-case. We have two types of VMs in our 
cloud, production VMs and the rest (self-service tenant networks). All 
production VMs are in provider networks, launched with config-drive 
and independent of the control plane. So as long as the compute nodes 
and the network infrastructure are running we can work, the less 
important VMs are not reachable during that time, of course, but it 
doesn't really hurt anybody.
So if you have machines that are required to work independent of 
network nodes (control nodes) you should consider using such provider 
networks. Or move the VMs to those networks if you already have been 
using provider networks.
