No support for qemu-guest-agent ?

Hello all,

There was some planned maintenance a few days ago, and as indicated - the host my VPS was running on was patched and rebooted. However, since it doesn’t seem Vultr supports qemu-guest-agent - my machine went down hard.

I opened a support ticket prior and was told that qemu-guest-agent is not supported.

Is there something else I could be doing to ensure a clean unattended shutdown in situations like this ? If not - is there a reason that Vultr doesn’t support this ?

Thanks.
