Hi Nova Developers, I am working on adding a service management API in Ironic [1][2]. This spec adds a new API /conductors to list, enable/disable an ironic-conductor service. I am struggling to understand the difference between shutting down a service manually and disabling it. So my question is what happens to the VMs and the current operation(if any) going on with the nova-compute service we disable? What is the difference between shutting down the service and disabling it? I understand both the actions, disables scheduling request to the compute service and the workloads are taken over by other nova-compute service. Please help me understand the design in Nova.
