The required functionality is in the specification as an Action against an instance specified by its URL. Please see Section 3.1 (table 3, 2nd row) of the Infrastructure specification [1] and also the Core specification [2] for more details on Actions. 'stop' will result in termination. In [3] there are examples of such Actions (e.g. pg 11). On review of the noted sections there is no explicit specification of a stop-terminate state change as you note. It's a good catch and the Infrastructure specification will be updated to reflect this, should no one else here have an objection to the change?

Dear OCCI-Workgroup,

i have a question concerning the OCCI Compute instance actions.

Comparing to the Amazon EC2-API,
OCCI obviously delivers no action to terminate an Instance. Terminating
in the Amazon-API means, that the instance is shut down and won´t be
visible after one hour.
The Action you listed in the GFD-P-R.184 on page 5 gives only the
possibility to hibernate or suspend.

Is that the same or am I just confused :) ?

Thanks for clearing that up for me !!!

Feel free to answer in German :)

Keep up the good work,

Kind regards,
Kim Rohner
