- The models are 'native' if you like, definitely not workarounds.
- CloudStack is an orchestrator, it largely relies on the abilities of the hypervisors that
it orchestrates. We add a little secret sauce here and there, but when it comes to basic
hypervisor functions, we leave it up to the hypervisor.

Hey Paul,
Thank you for your fast reply!
> There are a few different models that you can use.
Do any of these models work "by default", or they are "workarounds"
(similar to Proxmox / LXC)? Aka is this a native/direct solution that can be applied in the
VM creation flow?

I was referring to something *similar* with Xen Live Storage migration, not Xen Live Storage
"per se". Aka migrate a VM from a CloudStack node to another CloudStack node, natively, live,
without using a central storage.
Thank you,
