We’re having a look at VM shelving for the CERN community and struggling to find a motivation for a private cloud user to shelve their instances (and free up resources they may be only using infrequently). The problem is that shelved instances seem to still be included in the user’s quota. Without internal billing, the best motivation for users to shelve would be to allow them to maximize the use of their quota. Have any other sites used shelving extensively ? How did you motivate your users to shelve unused resources? Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
