Reservation Command

Warning

This command is experimental and is not yet fully integrated. It only stores reservations, but does not act upon them.

One of the features of cloudmesh is to build a mesh of resources and services. In some cases we which to reserve resources that allow reservations. However we also may want to use a resource till a particular time frame and release it. For this cases it is practical to provide the concept of a reservation. A simple reservation is named and contains a start and end point. We currently store named virtual machines into a reservation for named clouds. Reservations are similar to groups just that they have a time frame associated with them. A timeless reservation is like a group.

The manual page of the reservation command can be found at: reservation
