The main advantages of CLI are the automation of the instances creation process and the possibility of integration into an already existing project. For creating instances via command line you need to prepare a platform where the openstack utility has to be installed. This can be an existing virtual server or even a personal computer. We recommend you to use Ubuntu OS

In order to connect to a virtual server you need to use a remote access client. We recommend you to use the free utility Putty.  Download Putty program and install it. Download Putty 32 bitt Download Putty 64 bitt Enter the server IP adress into the field "Host Name" (step -1), click on "Open" (step-2). pu To continue click on "Yes" into the opened dialog window (this message appears in order to make "Putty" remember the server or if the IP adress of the server is not similar to that previously...
