Open Stack

Thanks, but that feels like a really complicated process to rollback. It seems I would need to delete my old machine and volume, make a volume from the snapshot, create a new one with the same port, a new volume and specify the cloud-init script.

 

Is that really the best way to revert to a snapshot? I don’t have a lot of experience with openstack, and the documentation and scope is quite large, but I’ve used vmware, libvirt with qemu, hyper-v, and virtualbox, and they all had a fairly simple one-step process to revert a snapshot. I feel like I’m missing something easy.

 

Thanks.

You should be able to create a new instance using that snapshot as the image.

I am trying to create an instance that I can revert to a snapshot. I created the snapshot with openstack volume snapshot create, but I don’t see a way to revert the instance to that image.

 

What can I do to make use of the snapshot?

 

Thanks.
