The WU Cloud:

• The WU Cloud allows you to request additional resources (CPU/RAM/Disk space) no matter what.
  You do not need to book resources in advance. Please keep your VM with low number of resources and
  then increase accordingly before starting new calculations. Please scale down or shut down the VM
  after the calculations are done.
  
  
• Note, that adding RAM (Linux/Windows), CPUs (Linux), one additional disk (Windows/Linux) can be done
  without a restart. Removing/adding resources in other cases does require rebooting.
  If possible, it is always better to reboot.
  
  
• Shutting down or rebooting a VM does not cause it to be destroyed. Destroying a VM or its expiry does.
  
  
• When a VM is destroyed or expired, the disks with the user data will be destroyed as well.
  
  
• Please, shut down your VM when it is temporarily not needed. Destroy or expire your VM, when it
  will not be needed anymore (don`t forget to copy your data).
  
  
• There is no backup of user`s data. We advise you to backup your data regularly.
