Create a keypair

A keypair is basically a ssh key allowing you to login to your virtual machine

Keypair options Keypairs provide the method to authenticate when logging into a Linux VM. There are several options for how to create them.

Using your existing SSH key

Assuming your existing ssh public key is located at ~/.ssh/ssh_my_rsa_key.pub

Import it using the following command:

ochaze@ochaze:~$ openstack keypair create --public-key ~/.ssh/ssh_my_rsa_key.pub mykeypair +-------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | fingerprint | 53:c0:03:5f:27:6f:c2:66:b4:e4:f3:26:e0:f8:82:4a | | name | mykeypair | | user_id | b1580497f51e4d10b9110c60c154562c | +-------------+-------------------------------------------------+

If you don't know how to create a ssh key refer to this guide

Choose a flavor

ochaze@ochaze:~$ openstack flavor list +--------------------------------------+------------------+------+------+-----------+-------+-----------+ | ID | Name | RAM | Disk | Ephemeral | VCPUs | Is Public | +--------------------------------------+------------------+------+------+-----------+-------+-----------+ | 23c60b2b-6a1a-4870-ba41-ab1d6ce0c516 | cpu1-ram2-disk10 | 2048 | 10 | 0 | 1 | True | | 2655c1e3-a43a-4dea-a957-650517e8fa72 | cpu2-ram6-disk20 | 6144 | 20 | 0 | 2 | True | | 450314a4-3575-45d5-88c2-41ca78201ebe | cpu2-ram6-disk60 | 6144 | 60 | 0 | 2 | True | | ef91c4c8-c28f-44b0-b7a0-3115652b52d1 | cpu2-ram6-disk40 | 6144 | 40 | 0 | 2 | True | | f2c62dc0-4b83-4208-868a-fbc4dbc2ff3a | cpu1-ram2-disk20 | 2048 | 20 | 0 | 1 | True | +--------------------------------------+------------------+------+------+-----------+-------+-----------+
