+# ABLESTACK-N2K Cloud Cutover Start Policy Design
+
+## 배경
+
+`ablestack_n2k wizard --apply` 또는 `ablestack_n2k run --apply`는 Cloud 대상 VM을 생성하되 시작하지 않는다. 반면 Cloud UI/API를 통해 실행하는 N2K 경로는 KVM agent wrapper가 항상 `--start`를 추가했기 때문에, 사용자가 cutover까지 완료한 뒤 대상 VM을 정지 상태로 남기는 정책을 선택할 수 없었다.
+
+## 설계
+
+### API
+
+`importUnmanagedInstanceForAblestackN2K`에 `starttargetvm` Boolean 파라미터를 추가한다. 기본값은 기존 동작과 동일하게 `true`이다.
+
+- `true`: Phase2 cutover 이후 Cloud 대상 VM을 시작한다. wrapper는 `--start`를 전달한다.
+- `false`: Phase2 cutover 이후 Cloud 대상 VM을 정지 상태로 둔다. wrapper는 `--apply`만 전달한다.
+
+### 작업 컨텍스트
+
+Phase1에서 선택한 정책은 import VM task의 source context JSON에 `startTargetVm`으로 저장한다. Phase2, resume, retry 요청에서 `starttargetvm`이 명시되지 않으면 저장된 값을 재사용한다. 저장값도 없으면 하위 호환을 위해 `true`로 처리한다.
+
+### Agent wrapper
+
+Cloud target provider(`ablestack-cloud`)인 경우 기존의 무조건 `--start` 호출을 `cmd.isStartTargetVm()`에 따라 분기한다. CLI/wizard의 기존 `--apply`/`--start` 의미는 변경하지 않는다.
+
+### UI
+
+초기 가져오기 대화상자의 N2K 섹션에 대상 VM 시작 여부 스위치를 추가한다. 기본값은 시작이다. Phase2 실행 모달에는 기존 설정 유지, 시작, 정지 유지 중 선택할 수 있는 드롭다운을 제공한다. 기본값은 기존 설정 유지로 두어 Phase1에서 저장한 정책을 보존한다.
+
+## 빌드/배포
+
+Cloud는 릴리즈 빌드가 아니라 Maven module 빌드와 UI module 빌드만 수행한다. 22번 공유 개발 환경에는 변경된 management/backend jar, agent jar, UI 정적 파일만 반영한다.
+
+## DB 변경
+
+신규 테이블/칼럼은 없다. 기존 import VM task source context JSON에 `startTargetVm` 키만 추가로 저장한다.
