Fix format for Launch instances in User Guide

Browse Source 
Launch an instance from a volume and Launch an instance using ISO image
are different ways to launch an instance and should be a topic similar
to “Launch an instance from an image”.
Reformatting the file to reflect the changes.

Launch an instance from an image
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Launch an instance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. After you gather required parameters, run the following command to
launch an instance. Specify the server name, flavor ID, and image ID.
.. code-block:: console
$ nova boot --flavor FLAVOR_ID --image IMAGE_ID --key-name KEY_NAME \
--user-data USER_DATA_FILE --security-groups SEC_GROUP_NAME --meta KEY=VALUE \
INSTANCE_NAME
Optionally, you can provide a key name for access control and a security
group for security. You can also include metadata key and value pairs.
For example, you can add a description for your server by providing the
``--meta description="My Server"`` parameter.
You can pass user data in a local file at instance launch by using the
``--user-data USER-DATA-FILE`` parameter.
.. important::
If you boot an instance with an INSTANCE_NAME greater than 63 characters,
Compute truncates it automatically when turning it into a host name to
ensure the correct work of dnsmasq. The corresponding warning is written
into the ``nova-network.log`` file.
The following command launches the ``MyCirrosServer`` instance with the
``m1.small`` flavor (ID of ``1``), ``cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec`` image (ID
of ``397e713c-b95b-4186-ad46-6126863ea0a9``), ``default`` security
group, ``KeyPair01`` key, and a user data file called
``cloudinit.file``:
.. code-block:: console
$ nova boot --flavor 1 --image 397e713c-b95b-4186-ad46-6126863ea0a9 \
--security-groups default --key-name KeyPair01 --user-data cloudinit.file \
myCirrosServer
Depending on the parameters that you provide, the command returns a list
of server properties.

A status of ``BUILD`` indicates that the instance has started, but is
not yet online.
A status of ``ACTIVE`` indicates that the instance is active.
#. Copy the server ID value from the ``id`` field in the output. Use the
ID to get server details or to delete your server.
#. Copy the administrative password value from the ``adminPass`` field. Use the
password to log in to your server.
.. note::
You can also place arbitrary local files into the instance file
system at creation time by using the ``--file <dst-path=src-path>``
option. You can store up to five files. For example, if you have a
special authorized keys file named ``special_authorized_keysfile`` that
you want to put on the instance rather than using the regular SSH key
injection, you can use the :option:`--file` option as shown in the following
example.
.. code-block:: console
$ nova boot --image ubuntu-cloudimage --flavor 1 vm-name \
--file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys=special_authorized_keysfile
4. Check if the instance is online.
.. code-block:: console
$ nova list
The list shows the ID, name, status, and private (and if assigned,
public) IP addresses for all instances in the project to which you
belong:
.. code-block:: console

| ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks |

| 8a99547e... | myInstanceFromVolume | ACTIVE | None | Running | private=10.0.0.4 |
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
If the status for the instance is ACTIVE, the instance is online.
#. To view the available options for the :command:`nova list` command, run the
following command:
.. code-block:: console
$ nova help list
.. note::
If you did not provide a key pair, security groups, or rules, you
can access the instance only from inside the cloud through VNC. Even
pinging the instance is not possible.
You can launch an instance from various sources.
