--- upgrade: - | Nova now defaults to using the live snapshot feature of libvirt when taking snapshots. This was previously disabled by default due to crashes on load seen with older libvirt versions. It has been used in production by many clouds, and appears stable in real world environments. If you see crashes of guests during snapshots, you can disable this with the ``disable_libvirt_livesnapshot`` config value in ``[workarounds]``.
