This is a demo of a third party extention that was never upstreamed.
nova does not support create a base vm and then doing a local live migration or restore for memory snapshots to create another vm.
I just need to understand the risk and impact here but not desperately

this approch likely has several security implciations that would not be accpeatable in a multi tenant enviornment.
we have disucssed this type of vm creation in the past and determined that it is not a valid implematnion of spawn. a virt driver that precreate vms or copys an existing instance can be faster but that virt driver is not considered a compliant implementation.
so in short there is no way to achive this today in a compliant openstack powered cloud.
