This PR aligns the use of terminology, renaming VM / virtual machine references to 'Instance' and also capitalising the terms Templates, Network, Snapshot, User, Account in CloudStack APIs, error and log messages, events, tooltips, etc. Many typos, grammar and spelling mistakes were fixed, also terms like IPv4, VPN, VPC, etc. were properly capitalised. Some error messages were cleaned for better readability. The test cases, expecting some exception strings were adjusted accordingly.
Here is the wiki page, describing the changes in details:

* Migrate volume improvements, to bypass secondary storage when copy volume between pools is allowed directly
* Bypass secondary storage for copy volume between zone-wide pools and
- local storage on host in the same zone
- cluser-wide pools in the same zone
* Bypass secondary storage for volumes on ceph/rdb pool when the scope permits
* Fix dest disk format while migrating volume from ceph/rbd to nfs, and some code improvements
* unit tests
* Update suitable disk offering(s) for volume(s) after migrate VM with volumes when change in pool type (shared or local)
Currently, Migrate VM with volume(s) bypasses the service and disk offerings of the volumes, as the target pools for migration are specified,
which ignores the offerings. Offering change is required when pool type (shared or local) is changed, mainly
- when volume on shared pool is migrated to local pool
- when volume on local pool is migrated to shared pool
* Update with proper message while migrate volume when target pool and offering type mismatches (both are not shared/local)
* Consider host scope first during endpoint selection while copying between primary storages
* Update disk offering count (for listDiskOfferings api) while removing offerings with tags mismatch with storage tags
This feature adds the ability to create a new instance from a VM backup for dummy, NAS and Veeam backup providers. It works even if the original instance used to create the backup was expunged or unmanaged. There are two parts to this functionality:
Saving all configuration details that the VM had at the time of taking the backup. And using them to create an instance from backup.
Enabling a user to expunge/unmanage an instance that has backups.
The Extensions Framework in Apache CloudStack is designed to provide a flexible and standardised mechanism for integrating external systems and custom workflows into CloudStack’s orchestration process. By defining structured hook points during key operations—such as virtual machine deployment, resource preparation, and lifecycle events—the framework allows administrators and developers to extend CloudStack’s behaviour without modifying its core codebase.
* Introducing Storage Access Groups to define the host and storage pool connections
In CloudStack, when a primary storage is added at the Zone or Cluster scope, it is by default connected to all hosts within that scope. This default behavior can be refined using storage access groups, which allow operators to control and limit which hosts can access specific storage pools.
Storage access groups can be assigned to hosts, clusters, pods, zones, and primary storage pools. When a storage access group is set on a cluster/pod/zone, all hosts within that scope inherit the group. Connectivity between a host and a storage pool is then governed by whether they share the same storage access group.
A storage pool with a storage access group will connect only to hosts that have the same storage access group. A storage pool without a storage access group will connect to all hosts, including those with or without a storage access group.
