If you mean moving (or copying) VMs to another region/host, sorta. Stateless compute is easy; our apps platform (orchestrated by Nomad) already does it. Volumes complicate things because they live on a specific host, and moving volumes between hosts is a slow and tedious process. Solving this is high on our priority list. We need super fast volume forking and host migrations like yesterday.

- michaeldwan 4y agoAh! I've had volumes on the top of my mind all week... Firecracker supports snapshots in a dev preview but we're not using it yet. We can't really do anything like that on Nomad, which is one of the many reasons we're keen to get off it.
