OpenStack is the software suite used on Compute Canada clouds 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 Compute Canada clouds to control hardware resources such as computers, storage and networking.

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 [[Terraform]]; however, some tasks require using command line tools, for example [[#Sharing_an_image_with_another_project|sharing an image with another project]]. | ||
