OpenStack is the software suite used on the Compute Canada Cloud to control hardware resources such as computers, storage and networking. It allows the creation and management of virtual machines ("VMs", or "instances"), which act like separate individual machines, by emulation in software. This allows users complete control over their computing environment, from choosing an operating system to software installation and configuration. Diverse use cases are supported, from hosting websites to creating virtual clusters. More documentation on OpenStack can be found at the [http://docs.openstack.org/ OpenStack web site]. | OpenStack is the software suite used on the Compute Canada Cloud to control hardware resources such as computers, storage and networking.

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, [[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.
