Cold Stand-by - Booking Metal ahead of provisioning for DR

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Juergen Kaus. The current owner is: Unassigned.

The customer requested to have stand-by metal instances enough to run 30-50 VMs (for little MRR during the system-cold period). In case of a disaster in their primary on-prem environment an automation will start the provisioning the cold-Metal services and deployment of hypervisors and guests will kick off. The storage which will be used to create the disaster recovery deployment will be attached to the Metal fleet and is mirrored via a storage solution which is synched at any time with the primary site.

    This can be accomplished today using API automation and server reservations. Closing.
