VM Suspend/Resume #73

Description

@markovejnovic

Currently Hyper does not have a mechanism to suspend and resume VMs. This effectively means that the very widely supported feature, available in existing platforms, is simply not available on Hyper. We should definitely add it.

This feature will unlock:

  • Sub 1s bootup times. The way Cloudflare ensures ultra-fast VM bootups is by suspending a VM right after it booted up and, when a user requests a VM be booted up, resuming it, rather than doing a cold boot.

Some work is left deciding on what we want the feature to look like in terms of the API and architecture.
