Compute

Estimated time to read: 1 minute

Cyso Cloud compute instances (virtual machines) are powered by OpenStack. You can create instances from a wide variety of Linux distributions, custom images, or volume snapshots — and manage them through the dashboard, CLI, or Terraform.

Overview:

• Creating an Instance — launch your first instance from the dashboard or CLI
• Custom Images — upload and boot your own images on Cyso Cloud
• Using cloud-init — automate instance initialization at boot
• Deploying with Terraform — infrastructure as code for your instances
• Using Instance Snapshots — back up and restore instance state
• Deploying on Different Compute Nodes — spread instances for high availability
• Managing SSH Key Pairs — add or manage SSH keys on running instances
• SSH Key Pairs via CLI — manage key pairs through the OpenStack CLI
