Translations:Managing your cloud resources with OpenStack/3/en

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 the dashboard, as described there and below. But some require use of the command line tools, for example creating an image. See OpenStack Command Line Clients for more information.

Security Groups

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.
