We have several private vCloud vmware instances on which are deployed some java webaps. The instances are not corelated with each other.
I am monitoring the usage of the apps and have some instances that are not used for days or even months.
Is there a way maybe already built in vmware to stop the instance when not used for some days and to restart it fast when a new request comes in.
The motivation for this is just to optimize wmware licence costs.
I am already monitorng the requests to some instance and I know I could do ti thrugh vCloud Java api but I dont know if it would be fast enough to start the instance when a new request comes.
Ahy hints in which direction should I go?
