#'''Have a cloud project''' <br> '''You cannot access a cloud without first having a cloud project.''' If you don't already have a [[Managing_your_cloud_resources_with_OpenStack#Projects|cloud project]], see [[Cloud#Getting_a_Cloud_project|Getting a cloud project]]. Once a cloud project is associated with your account, you will receive a confirmation email which will have important details you will need to access your project and get started with the cloud. Make sure you have this confirmation email ready.

Below there are instructions on starting a Windows VM or a Linux VM, depending on which tab you select. '''Remember this is the operating system for the virtual machine or 'instance' you are creating, not the operating system of the physical computer you are using to connect'''. It should be clear from your project pre-planning whether you will be using Linux or Windows for your VM operating system, but if you are unsure please email [mailto:cloud-support@computecanada.ca cloud support].
