Whiteboard

First appeared in diablo-3

Vish: moving this forward because it doesn't look like anyone is handling it.

Glen: there is an implicit assumption that the instance does not change IP addresses, which means that the instance needs to be migrated to a new host within the same subnet as the old host, correct? Could you add this to the specification, and maybe have suggestions on how to best implement that?
FYI, Vish - the Ozone team is planning on attacking this in a couple of weeks, once our current sprint is finished.

Pvo: It needs to be migrated to another host within the same zone as the ip block should be routed to the zone. Any host within the zone should be able to accomodiate the instance.
