Chapter 6. Instance Management
In the past few chapters, we collected resources that laid the foundation to launch an instance. We have created a tenant—a place for our resources to live in. We added a disk image that the instance will use as its boot device. We created a network for the instance. Now, it is time to launch the instance. Nova is the instance management component in OpenStack. In this chapter, we will look at managing:
- Flavors
- Key pairs
- Instances
- Floating IPs
- Security groups
