As an administrative user, you can manage instances for users in various
|
|
|
|
|
projects. You can view, terminate, edit, perform a soft or hard reboot,
|
|
|
|
|
create a snapshot from, and migrate instances. You can also view the
|
|
|
|
|
logs for instances or launch a VNC console for an instance.
