OpenStack is to download one that someone else has already created.
Most of the images contain the
<systemitem class="process">cloud-init</systemitem> package to
support SSH key pair and user data injection. Because many of the
images disable SSH password authentication by default, boot the
image with an injected key pair. You can SSH into the instance with
the private key and default login account. See the

create and inject key pairs with OpenStack.</para>
