Manage instances
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
For information about using the dashboard to launch instances as an end
|
||
user, see the `*OpenStack End User
|
||
Guide* <http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/content/>`__.

click Launch. For information about launching instances, see the
