Cyborg Support Matrix¶
Cyborg supports specific operations on VMs with attached accelerator resources, which are generally a subset of the full set of VM operations supported by Nova (nova-vm-ops).
In this release, these operations have a dependency on specific Nova patches (nova-patches). They can be expected to work in Cyborg only if and when these Nova patches get merged without significant changes. These operations are not supported in this release since the dependencies are not met.
VM Operation |
Command |
|---|---|
VM creation |
|
VM deletion |
|
Reboot within VM |
|
Soft reboot |
|
Pause/Unpause |
|
Lock/Unlock |
