Could you clarify what it means under Operational -> Stranded Servers?

If I'm currently expecting RightScale to auto-terminate a stranded server, will that happen?

[cwilhelm]

@yesthatallen  The Stranded Servers policy will terminate any of the servers that were found stranded.  This only applies to servers created within the Flexera Cloud Management module.

Here is the description from the README file

## What it does

This policy checks all Servers in Cloud Management and reports on any that have been stranded during the boot process. It provides the option to terminate any stranded servers after approval.
