Freeze/Suspend a stack
We have a BETA stack which we bring up every now and then when we need to test new features before deploying to production.
It would be great if it was possible to freeze/suspend a stack.
I imagine hitting freeze on the stack, it takes a full backup of my database, save the current git repos id, cancel my servers (or ask me to do it). On a later time I can hit the unfreeze button, it will then setup new cloud servers, install software, use the specific git repos id, restore the backup, and setup the elastic address to point on the new servers. So the stack is back to life.
It would make it easy to safe money on servers/stacks you only use rarely.
Cloud 66 can then charge us a small amount for storing the data while the stack is frozen.
