Hi qinglong,
suspended means Hibernation, the instance's memory and cpu states will be saved to disk, stoped means powered off,
suspended instance can be resume from the disk, and the jobs in instance will keep on running, but stopped instance will not.

Hi all,

     In the nova.compute.vm_states.py
     SUSPENDED = 'suspended'  # VM is suspended to disk.
     STOPPED = 'stopped'  # VM is powered off, the disk image is still there.


     but what are the different between them ?


Tks,

Best Regards,
