Cloud power management

Registered by Arnaud Quette

With the fast growing adoption of the Cloud, the lack of a consistent and efficient power management has become a major concern.

A first set of features has been developed since UDS-O.

The purpose of this blueprint is to discuss the remaining steps to complete Cloud power management for Precise.
