This page describes how to perform common tasks encountered while working with OpenStack. It is assumed that you have already read [[Cloud Quick Start]] and understand the basic operations of launching and connecting to a VM. Most tasks can be performed using either the dashboard (as described below), [[OpenStack Command Line Clients|CLI]], or a tool called [https://www.terraform.io/ terraform]; however, some require using command line tools, for example [[#Sharing_an_image_with_another_project|sharing an image with another project]]. | This page describes how to perform common tasks encountered while working with OpenStack.

A security group is a set of rules to control network traffic into and out of your virtual machines. To manage security groups go to ''Project->Compute->Access & Security'' and select the ''Security Groups'' tab. You will see a list of currently defined security groups. If you have not previously defined any security groups, there will be single default security group. | A security group is a set of rules to control network traffic into and out of your virtual machines.
