When a business service is deployed, Novell Cloud Manager takes a snapshot of the business service’s workloads. This snapshot maintains a record of the service levels, resource allocations, and costs associated with the workloads at deployment time.
For business services with an expiration date, the snapshot is updated only if the owner changes the business service and redeploys it. At that time, Cloud Manager takes a new snapshot that reflects any changes to the service levels, resource allocations, and costs associated with the workloads. For example, if the cost of the host group’s resources increased since the first deployment, the second deployment reflects the cost increase.
For business services without an expiration date, you can determine when workload snapshots are updated so that non-expiring business services accurately reflect changes in the service levels, resource allocations, and costs associated with their workloads. You can update workloads either weekly or monthly. The update occurs on the last day of the selected period. You can also force an immediate update.
