AArch64: graceful power-off from external

Open Pennyzct opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hi guys

Got requirement from kata-containers, we want a graceful way to power off the VM from external on aarch64, since it's brutal to use kill -9 at the first place and may leave stale resource behind.

Since x86_64 has provided API action SendCtrlAltDel to gracefully shutdown the microvm from external. I'd like to have the same functionality on AArch64.

Hi @Pennyzct , it is really nice to see this! We were looking forward to this kind of functionality, see #1339 which was being tracked as part of our efforts to match all x86_64 functionality on aarch64 too. I will be helping you in having your PR reviewed and passing the CI testing.

Thanks, Diana
