I understand why you may need this.
But I'm sure providers will not like this as such. Mass booting VMs after a node reboot on oversold systems can cause more problems.
Not to mention that maybe the user wanted their VPS powered down
autoboot(tm)
the strange thing is that some users actually do want ther machines powered down, I have a few clients that only boot the VPS when needed
I personally don't. However I would never want to forcefully boot my VPS. Especially sending a boot request every minute.
I've had it with LE providers specifically LES where the nodes are overloaded on boot due to 400 VPSes trying to boot on 8 cores. Zero of my VPSes are used alone in full production. I see no reason why a user would require their low end VPS to be forcefully booted every minute. What if the node had gone down? Sending boot requests to a solus master if the slave is down usually causes more issues. Especially if the VPS is online but has networking issues. You are just causing more issues. I'd highly recommend investing in High Availablity or a fail over setup. Maybe use the server you are running these scripts on as the backup server?
You guys are over thinking the initial post completely.
