Computer Lifecycle
Start computer
Boot a stopped computer.
POST
Start computer
Starts a stopped computer. Its disk is restored — files, installed software, and configuration — and the computer boots on a freshly chosen host.
Idempotent - starting an already-running computer returns success without side effects.
A started computer receives a new IP address and boots fresh: running processes and other in-memory state from before the stop are not restored, only the disk. Starting can take longer than a normal request while the saved disk is fetched and the computer cold-boots.
