Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 16:06:05 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/termination-protection.

Description:

Currently, via Horizon or through the CLI, it is fairly easy to terminate any instance.
Some instances for whatever reason may not be considered "disposable" or should be considered "unique" (e.g. a testing VM).
Implement instance protection similar to the implementation in Amazon's EC2 whereby instances can be marked as protected, first requiring them to have their protection removed before destructive operations can be performed on them.
