| This is a beta service, since the deployment and development is ongoing. However, access is granted to certain users to test the functionality. | IFCA uses [[https://openstack.org|OpenStack]] for managing the cloud service. You may get access upon [[https://support.ifca.es/rt/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=3&Subject=New Cloud Account|request]]. There are several ways to access the infrastructure, namely: |

| You need a valid account for accessing the cloud services. The username and password of that account may not be the same you are using in the [[Cluster/Usage|GRIDUI Cluster]]. Contact the [[http://support.ifca.es|helpdesk]] if you need further information on your account. Once you have a valid user and password, you can obtain your credentials in the dashboard of !OpenStack. Login into [[http://portal.cloud.ifca.es|Web portal]] and go to your settings area (Link in the upper right corner). There you two different kind of credentials: * The !OpenStack Credentials that can be used with the `nova` command * The EC2 Credentials can be used with `euca` tools. Download the configuration file for !OpenStack and copy it to the GRIDUI before attempting any of the commands. Once you have the file, source it in order to have the environment ready. {{{ $ . openrc.sh Please enter your OpenStack Password: }}} Now you should be able to execute the commands to access the resources. Try that your environment is correct with the `nova endpoints` command. It should return all the services available in the !OpenStack installation: {{{ $ nova endpoints +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | nova-volume | Value | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | adminURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8776/v1/c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | internalURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8776/v1/c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | publicURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8776/v1/c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | region | RegionOne | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------+-------------------------------+ | glance | Value | +-------------+-------------------------------+ | adminURL | http://glance.ifca.es:9292/v1 | | internalURL | http://glance.ifca.es:9292/v1 | | publicURL | http://glance.ifca.es:9292/v1 | | region | RegionOne | +-------------+-------------------------------+ +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | nova | Value | +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | adminURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8774/v1.1/c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | internalURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8774/v1.1/c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | publicURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8774/v1.1/c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | region | RegionOne | | serviceName | nova | +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------+------------------------------------------+ | ec2 | Value | +-------------+------------------------------------------+ | adminURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8773/services/Admin | | internalURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8773/services/Cloud | | publicURL | http://cloud.ifca.es:8773/services/Cloud | | region | RegionOne | +-------------+------------------------------------------+ +-------------+------------------------------------+ | keystone | Value | +-------------+------------------------------------+ | adminURL | http://keystone.ifca.es:35357/v2.0 | | internalURL | http://keystone.ifca.es:5000/v2.0 | | publicURL | http://keystone.ifca.es:5000/v2.0 | | region | RegionOne | +-------------+------------------------------------+ }}} == Managing machines == The cloud service lets you instantiate virtual machines (VM) on demand. When you request the creation of a new VM, you can select the operating systems and the size (RAM, Disk, CPUs) that will be used to run the machine. In this section we will show how to discover which software and sizes are available and how to start a new virtual machine. === Keypairs === Before attempting to start a new virtual machine, you should have a keypair that will allow you to login into the machine once it is running. Normally you just need to create one keypair that can be reused for all your virtual machines (although you can create as many SSH credentials as you want). The `nova keypair-list` command shows your current keypairs. Initially the command should not return anything. In order to create a new key, use `nova keypair-add` with a name for the key you want to use redirecting the ouput to the file where you want to store that key. For example, for creating a key named `cloudkey` that will be stored in `cloudkey.pem`: {{{ $ nova keypair-add cloudkey > cloudkey.pem }}} Your recently created keypair should now appear in the list of available keypairs: {{{ $ nova keypair-list +----------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Name | Fingerprint | +----------+-------------------------------------------------+ | cloudkey | 37:fd:b6:73:59:78:fd:f2:7f:e7:9c:1b:9a:88:a5:cb | +----------+-------------------------------------------------+ }}} Make sure that you keep safe the file `cloudkey.pem`, since it will contain the private key needed to access your cloud machines. Set proper permissions to the key before using it with `chmod 600 clodkey.pem` (only user can read or write). If you need to delete one of your keypairs, use the `nova keypair-delete` command. === Images === The service lets you run VMs with different Operating Systems, you can list all the available ones with the `nova image-list` command. The `ID` of the image will be used as arguments for other commands. {{{ $ nova image-list +--------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+--------+--------+ | ID | Name | Status | Server | +--------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+--------+--------+ | 6b3046eb-4649-44d6-96c2-9a93d3aab8dc | Fedora 15 | ACTIVE | | | e803caa2-c247-4088-80fd-54e77b20a5cb | Fedora 15 initrd | ACTIVE | | | 6823e5b0-13fc-4ce3-afd8-057285820ed2 | Fedora 15 kernel | ACTIVE | | | 0249a9cc-dced-4c5f-91eb-d6900576206f | Fedora 17 | ACTIVE | | | f07c936f-7678-40e5-bbfd-f7142a5482ff | Fedora 17 initrd | ACTIVE | | | a0fbc138-1879-439f-8f78-9b98893778b3 | Fedora 17 kernel | ACTIVE | | | d3ac534d-d839-4b25-af92-c143930f3694 | Fedora 17 old glibc | ACTIVE | | | d1eec0f5-e948-435d-899c-d865320698d7 | IFCA Debian Wheezy (2011-08) JeOS | ACTIVE | | | cdbb6f8f-d10e-4e2b-879d-250d29fb9dbb | IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 + PROOF v5.30.00 | ACTIVE | | | 6857ee01-2ba9-4846-b788-9e826dd9aaba | IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 + ROOT v5.30.00 | ACTIVE | | | 18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24 | IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | 75896bad-05d3-45f6-9958-5940f82d0048 | IFCA Scientific Linux 6.2 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | 486c139e-f34d-465c-959c-1b9c8bf60cfd | IFCA Ubuntu Server 10.04 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | 694f2673-7ea3-4690-a25e-c9dd4297519a | IFCA Ubuntu Server 10.04 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | 66963875-5389-4048-b385-6f7e12a0915f | IFCA Ubuntu Server 11.10 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | 3ef6bb0c-6a17-47c9-a949-70256eb6651e | IFCA openSUSE 11.4 + Compilers | ACTIVE | | | daaed27e-6226-4295-8018-ad3b6b5210f6 | IFCA openSUSE 11.4 + Compilers + Mathematica | ACTIVE | | | 29233856-ed8e-4b61-ac81-898eb5e7c263 | IFCA openSUSE 11.4 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | f4e39219-ad13-495e-a35b-315a94675b0f | Ubuntu 11.10 kernel | ACTIVE | | | 369455d3-7f84-4630-b60c-e0ebf29a410c | Ubuntu 12.04 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | 4590d3b0-1df6-49a7-ae68-4dde83089b01 | Ubuntu Server 11.10 JeOS | ACTIVE | | | fea1838f-29a0-47dd-bd84-6c6cc6806ff3 | cloudpipe | ACTIVE | | | 6f02785c-5a39-4e1a-a7e3-75d48f0f0076 | ubuntu 12.04 kernel | ACTIVE | | +--------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+--------+--------+ }}} The `nova image-show` can give you more details about a given image, for example the "IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS", which has an ID `18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24`: {{{ $ nova image-show 18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24 +----------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +----------+--------------------------------------+ | created | 2012-01-30T10:12:22Z | | id | 18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24 | | minDisk | 0 | | minRam | 0 | | name | IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS | | progress | 100 | | status | ACTIVE | | updated | 2012-07-18T08:50:48Z | +----------+--------------------------------------+ }}} Information about some of these images is available at [[Cloud/Images]]. === Sizes === As in the case of the image to use, you can select the size of the VM to start.

Optionally, you can also spcify a keypair (it is always recommended to do so). The `nova boot` command lets you start the machine. For example, in order to create a VM that: * runs IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS (ID `18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24`) * of size `m1.tiny` * with the key `cloudkey` * and named `testVM` you would need to issue the following command: {{{ $ nova boot --flavor m1.tiny --image 18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24 --key_name cloudkey testVM +------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | OS-DCF:diskConfig | MANUAL | | OS-EXT-STS:power_state | 0 | | OS-EXT-STS:task_state | scheduling | | OS-EXT-STS:vm_state | building | | accessIPv4 | | | accessIPv6 | | | adminPass | PGg4KxZo3Fn4 | | config_drive | | | created | 2012-09-28T10:02:02Z | | flavor | m1.tiny | | hostId | | | id | cd9e08b9-6899-4748-909a-2ff667ff1905 | | image | IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS | | key_name | cloudkey | | metadata | {} | | name | testVM | | progress | 0 | | status | BUILD | | tenant_id | c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | updated | 2012-09-28T10:02:03Z | | user_id | db66762e4fe148f8b8484c461a7a7182 | +------------------------+--------------------------------------+ }}} The `id` of the machine will allow you to query its status with `nova show`: {{{ $ nova show cd9e08b9-6899-4748-909a-2ff667ff1905 +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | OS-DCF:diskConfig | MANUAL | | OS-EXT-STS:power_state | 2 | | OS-EXT-STS:task_state | None | | OS-EXT-STS:vm_state | active | | accessIPv4 | | | accessIPv6 | | | config_drive | | | created | 2012-09-28T10:02:02Z | | flavor | m1.tiny (1) | | hostId | 5ed92271869711d494f1326b9611825d5635ab659ea3e143c13ca8c6 | | id | cd9e08b9-6899-4748-909a-2ff667ff1905 | | image | IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS (18d99a06-c3e5-4157-a0e3-37ec34bdfc24) | | key_name | cloudkey | | metadata | {} | | name | testVM | | private network | 172.16.2.8 | | progress | 0 | | status | ACTIVE | | tenant_id | c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 | | updated | 2012-09-28T10:03:54Z | | user_id | db66762e4fe148f8b8484c461a7a7182 | +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ }}} Alternatively, you can use `nova list` to get the list of the current machines: {{{ $ nova list +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------+ | 4b999e84-b37e-4b95-952d-3414ba271930 | c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554-vpn | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.2 | | 3051dea4-0164-4a3a-9af2-14efe7ea93e9 | horizon_test | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.11, 193.146.75.142 | | e02cee2d-c09f-4429-9724-91d7e10277ec | lbnl | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.10 | | cd9e08b9-6899-4748-909a-2ff667ff1905 | testVM | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.8 | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------+ }}} === Connecting to the machine === Once the machine status is `ACTIVE`, it will be ready for using it. You can connect via ssh with your key. The IP address of the machine is shown in the `nova list` output. {{{ $ ssh -i cloudkey.pem root@172.16.2.8 Last login: Mon May 10 16:11:40 2010 [root@testvm ~]# }}} === VM Lifecycle === Your VM will be available until you explicitly destroy it. You can pause/reboot/resume/delete the machine with these commands: || Action || Command || || Reboot the VM || `nova reboot <id>` || || Pause the VM || `nova pause <id>` || || Suspend the VM || `nova suspend <id>` || || Resume the VM || `nova resume <id>` || || Delete the VM || `nova delete <id>` || Deleting the machine will destroy it and the contents of the disk will be lost. Make sure that all your data are stored in a permanent storage before deleting the machine. See the section on volumes for more information. {{{ $ nova delete cd9e08b9-6899-4748-909a-2ff667ff1905 $ nova list +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------+ | 4b999e84-b37e-4b95-952d-3414ba271930 | c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554-vpn | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.2 | | 3051dea4-0164-4a3a-9af2-14efe7ea93e9 | horizon_test | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.11, 193.146.75.142 | | e02cee2d-c09f-4429-9724-91d7e10277ec | lbnl | ACTIVE | private=172.16.2.10 | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------+ }}} |

== Permanent Storage: Volumes == The VMs use a temporary disk that is destroy when the machine is deleted. If you need permanent storage for your data, you can use Volumes. Volumes are raw block devices that can be created dynamically with a desired size. Volumes can be ''attached'' and ''detached'' from a running cloud VM to be used as a data disk (similarly to a usb stick that can be plug and unplugged to a computer). === Creating Volumes === The `nova volume-create` creates new volumes. You must specify the size (in GB) and optionally a name. In our case we will create a new volume with 5GB called `mydata` {{{ $ nova volume-create --display-name 'mydata' 5 +---------------------+----------------------------+ | Property | Value | +---------------------+----------------------------+ | attachments | [] | | availability_zone | nova | | created_at | 2012-09-28 15:16:44.590600 | | display_description | None | | display_name | mydata | | id | 14 | | metadata | {} | | size | 5 | | snapshot_id | None | | status | creating | | volume_type | None | +---------------------+----------------------------+ }}} The `nova volume-list` shows all available volumes: {{{ $ nova volume-list +----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+ | ID | Status | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Attached to | +----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+ | 14 | available | mydata | 5 | None | | +----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+ }}} The volume is now created and can be attached to a VM. === Attaching Volumes === Attaching is the process of associating a volume with a given instance, so the volume is seen as a new block device in the VM. The command to attach the volume is `nova volume-attach`, and the parameters are: * the id of the VM * the id of the volume * the local block device where the volume will be attached. These devices are in the form `/dev/xvd<DEVICE_LETTER>`, where `<DEVICE_LETTER>` goes from `c` to `z` (`/dev/xvdc`, `/dev/xvdd`, ..., `/dev/xvdz`) For example: {{{ $ nova volume-attach 9f870141-638e-4eb9-a2fa-ec770d1edb79 14 /dev/xvdc +----------+-------+ | Property | Value | +----------+-------+ | id | 14 | | volumeId | 14 | +----------+-------+ }}} `nova volume-list` should now show that the volume is attached: {{{ $ nova volume-list +----+--------+--------------+------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | ID | Status | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Attached to | +----+--------+--------------+------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | 14 | in-use | mydata | 5 | None | 9f870141-638e-4eb9-a2fa-ec770d1edb79 | +----+--------+--------------+------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ }}} Log into your VM and check with `dmesg` that the volume is now attached: {{{ [root@testvm ~]# fdisk -l | grep Disk Disk /dev/xvda doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/xvdc doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/xvda: 3220 MB, 3220176896 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/xvdc: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 }}} {{{#!wiki caution Volumes are created without any kind of filesystem, you will need to create one the first time that you use it. A single ext4 partition should be enough for most use cases. You can create such filesystem with this command from your VM: `mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdc` (change `/dev/xvdc` if needed) }}} Now you can mount your volume (for example in /srv) and start using it: {{{ [root@testvm ~]# mount -t ext4 -o sync /dev/xvdc /srv [root@testvm ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda 3.0G 790M 2.1G 28% / tmpfs 245M 0 245M 0% /dev/shm /dev/xvdc 5.0G 138M 4.6G 3% /srv }}} === Detaching Volumes === Once you are done with the volume, you can umount it at your VM: {{{ [root@testvm ~]# umount /dev/xvdc }}} And detach it from the VM with `nova detach` with the VM and Volume id as arguments: {{{ $ nova volume-detach 9f870141-638e-4eb9-a2fa-ec770d1edb79 14 }}} The volume should appear again as available when you list it: {{{ $ nova volume-list +----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+ | ID | Status | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Attached to | +----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+ | 14 | available | mydata | 5 | None | | +----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+ }}} === Deleting volumes === You can reuse as many times as you like your volumes in your VMs, the data stored in them will persist after you have destroy your VMs. If you no longer need one of your volumes, you can do so with the `nova volume-delete` command. Once you delete a volume, you will not be able to access to its data again!. {{{ $ nova-delete 9 }}} == Networking == All created VMs have a private IP accessible from the GRIDUI. If you need access to the machine from outside GRIDUI, there are two alternatives: using a VPN or assigning public IPs to the VMs. === VPN === VPNs are currently being tested in the infrastructure. The documentation will be updated as soon as the features are available. === Public IPs === IFCA provides a pool of public IPs to use them in the cloud service. These can be allocated for your use and assigned to your VMs. Please note that the number of public IPs is limited! New IPs are created with `nova floating-ip-create`: {{{ $ nova floating-ip-create +----------------+-------------+----------+------+ | Ip | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool | +----------------+-------------+----------+------+ | 193.146.75.142 | None | None | nova | +----------------+-------------+----------+------+ }}} You can get the list of the current available IPs with `nova floation-ip-list`: {{{ $ nova floating-ip-list +----------------+-------------+----------+------+ | Ip | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool | +----------------+-------------+----------+------+ | 193.146.75.142 | None | None | nova | +----------------+-------------+----------+------+ }}} This newly allocated IP can now be associated to a running VM with `nova add-floating-ip <VM ID> <IP>`: {{{ $ nova add-floating-ip 9f870141-638e-4eb9-a2fa-ec770d1edb79 193.146.75.142 }}} The list command will show that the IP is assigned: {{{ $ nova floating-ip-list +----------------+--------------------------------------+------------+------+ | Ip | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool | +----------------+--------------------------------------+------------+------+ | 193.146.75.142 | 9f870141-638e-4eb9-a2fa-ec770d1edb79 | 172.16.2.9 | nova | +----------------+--------------------------------------+------------+------+ }}} And you will be able to connect to the machine with this new IP: {{{ $ ssh -i cloudkey.pem root@193.146.75.142 The authenticity of host '193.146.75.142 (193.146.75.142)' can't be established.

When no longer needed, release the IP address (i.e. it will no longer be available four your use): {{{ $ nova floating-ip-delete 193.146.75.142 }}} == Euca commands == This document is based in the `nova` native commands of !OpenStack, but you can also use the `euca-` commands that use the EC2 API instead of the !OpenStack one. Credentials for EC2 can be obtained from the web portal. You can download a zip file and unzip it into your GRIDUI home. It contains some certificates and a shell script with the variables needed for running the euca commands. Source it before attempting any command: {{{ $ . ec2rc.sh }}} The process for managing your VMs is practically identical, but you need to be aware that different identifiers are used at each system. For example, showing all the available images is performed with `euca-describe-images`. The id to use when starting the image is in the form `ami-xxxxxxxx`: {{{ $ euca-describe-images IMAGE ami-00000001 None (IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000002 None (IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 + ROOT v5.30.00) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000003 None (IFCA Ubuntu Server 10.04 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000004 None (IFCA Debian Wheezy (2011-08) JeOS) available publicmachine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000005 None (cloudpipe) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000006 None (IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 + PROOF v5.30.00) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000007 None (IFCA Ubuntu Server 10.04 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000008 None (IFCA openSUSE 11.4 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-00000009 None (IFCA openSUSE 11.4 + Compilers) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-0000000a None (IFCA openSUSE 11.4 + Compilers + Mathematica) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-0000000b None (IFCA Ubuntu Server 11.10 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE ami-0000000c None (Fedora 15) available public machine aki-0000000d ari-0000000e instance-store IMAGE aki-0000000d None (Fedora 15 kernel) available private kernel instance-store IMAGE ari-0000000e None (Fedora 15 initrd) available private ramdisk instance-store IMAGE ari-00000011 None (Fedora 17 initrd) available private ramdisk instance-store IMAGE aki-00000010 None (Fedora 17 kernel) available private kernel instance-store IMAGE ami-0000000f None (Fedora 17) available public machine aki-00000010 ari-00000011 instance-store IMAGE ami-00000012 None (Fedora 17 old glibc) available public machine aki-00000010 ari-00000011 instance-store IMAGE ami-00000017 None (IFCA Scientific Linux 6.2 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE aki-00000023 None (ubuntu 12.04 kernel) available public kernel instance-store IMAGE ami-00000022 None (Ubuntu 12.04 JeOS) available public machine instance-store IMAGE aki-00000025 None (Ubuntu 11.10 kernel) available public kernel instance-store IMAGE ami-00000024 None (Ubuntu Server 11.10 JeOS) available public machine aki-00000025 instance-store }}} Booting a VM with: * runs IFCA Scientific Linux 5.5 JeOS (ID `ami-00000001`) * of size `m1.tiny` * with the key `cloudkey` {{{ $ euca-run-instances -k cloudkey -t m1.tiny ami-00000001 RESERVATION r-d4722tgt c725b18d8d0643e7b410dc5a8d9ab554 default INSTANCE i-00000203 ami-00000001 server-515 server-515 pending cloudkey 2012-10-01T08:46:42.000Z None None }}} Again, note the different kind of identifiers.

'''NEDS REVISION''' === Creating a Machine with OpenStack === Go to http://portal.cloud.ifca.es to access to OpenStack system, which lets you to create a new image in the cloud. === Image and size selection === You should launch the image that you want to use (within a list of OS) and click “Launch”. A new popup window will be shown and you have to choose the configuration of the system (requirements, name of the server...). {{attachment:openstack2.png|alt text|width=600}} === Create SSH credentials === You must import or create a new key in order to access to that image. To do so go to “Access & Security” tab and click on Create or Import Keypair. {{attachment:openstack1.png|alt text|width=600}} === Connect to the server === In order to access throw ssh to the image, you must asign an IP to the instance. Click on “Access & Security” again and select “Allocate IP to project”. Choose the type of IP that you want to use and click “Allocate IP”. After that, you need to link that IP with your new image. Click on the button “Associate IP” of your new IP and select the instance that you have just created. {{attachment:openstack3.png|alt text|width=600}} ==== SSH Connection ==== Last step is to download the keypair that you have created or imported and move it to the machine that you will use to conect to the instance (gridui.ifca.es). Change permission to 600 and use the following command to connect: {{{ $ ssh -i clave.pem root@cloud.image.IP }}} Done === VM Lifecycle === You can access your VM until you destroy it.

1. Introduction
IFCA uses OpenStack for managing the cloud service. You may get access upon request. There are several ways to access the infrastructure, namely:
OpenStack API, that can be used with the different command line interfaces.
OCCI API, that can be used with rOCCI client
2. Documentation
The official, up to date documentation can be found in the following link:
Plase refer to that documentation, since it contains the most up to date and accurate documentation for using OpenStack resources.
Important: Do not hesitate in opening a ticket if you notice problems using cloud services.
