| 17 | +Limitations |
| 18 | +=========== |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Although the external Instances behave a lot like CloudStack managed |
| 21 | +Instances in many ways, there are some limitations. Some of these |
| 22 | +limitations are due to the framework itself, while others can be addressed |
| 23 | +by adding custom actions in the scripts written for the built-in extensions. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +**Some general features/actions not supported at the framework level:** |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + - Console access to the external Instances. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + - Data volumes. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + - User Data and Metadata services. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + - SSH key injection. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + - Affinity Groups. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + - Migrate Instance. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + - Host Capacity and Utilization Stats. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + - Add Nics to Instance post deployment. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +**Actions which can be implemented using Custom Actions in built-in extensions:** |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + - Reinstall Instance. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + - Backup and Restore. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + - Recurring Snapshots. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + - Change Service Offering. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + - Resize Volume. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + - Attach ISO. |
