Administrators guide

Services

API, worker and cleaner services should be ran via systemd.

Tasks

Cleaner service task is triggered every hour to check VM expirations.

Worker is connected to nova notifications to be informed on new VM creation/deletion. Start/stop operation do not impact the expiration itself. Only VM is deleted, not linked volumes.

Exclusion

Administrators can add some VM exclusion using osvmexpire-manage or API. VM expiration is not set if its domain/project/user identifier matches one of the exclusion records.
