Termination Protection

Overview

At times, end users might be using VMs for mission critical applications and accidental deletion of VMs needs to be prohibited or controlled by the administrators. HyperCloud™ Platform (HCP) allows VMs to be marked as ‘Termination Protected.’ If someone accidentally removes the VM, an approval notice goes to immediate administrators for approval. Until and unless the admin approves the deletion, VM cannot be deleted.

Termination Protection can be specified at two places.

Termination protection can also be applied at volume as well. 

To apply termination protection at volume level:

2. Specify termination protection enable/disable.

    

3. One can also provide termination protection once volume is created. Open the desired volume and specify termination protection.
