I've got a VM (spi-tools-host-1) that I'm not actively using right now. I could
shut it down to release the CPU resources, but I want to be able to start it back up again
at some point in the future with the same configuration. On AWS I would just back up all
the storage and shut down the VM. Is there some way to do that in this environment?
I suspect the answer may include, "Yo, dummy, you should have used puppet instead of
just installing things manually with apt-get". If that's the case, feel free to
say that :-)
Or, is the VM so small that it's not worth worrying too much about the resources
it's wasting?
