openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/section_dashboard_access_and_security.xml
Christian Berendt 6be4f5775f Unified the syntax of the XML root element (user-guide)
The XML root element of Docbook XML files should match the following
format:

<ELEMENT xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
  xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

<title>Configure access and security for instances</title>
<?dbhtml stop-chunking?>
<para>Before you launch an instance, you should add security group rules to
enable users to ping and use SSH to connect to the instance. Security
groups are sets of IP filter rules that define networking access and are
applied to all instances within a project. To do so, you either <link
xlink:href="#security_groups_add_rule">add rules to the default
security group</link> or add a new security group with rules.</para>
<para>Key pairs are SSH credentials that are injected into an
instance when it is launched. To use key pair injection, the
image that the instance is based on must contain the
<literal>cloud-init</literal> package. Each project should
have at least one key pair. For more information, see <xref
linkend="keypair_add"/>.</para>
<para>If you have generated a key pair with an external tool, you
can import it into OpenStack. The key pair can be used for
multiple instances that belong to a project. For more
information, see <xref linkend="dashboard_import_keypair"
/>.</para>
<para>When an instance is created in OpenStack, it is automatically
assigned a fixed IP address in the network to which the
instance is assigned. This IP address is permanently
associated with the instance until the instance is terminated.
However, in addition to the fixed IP address, a floating IP
address can also be attached to an instance. Unlike fixed IP
addresses, floating IP addresses are able to have their
associations modified at any time, regardless of the state of
the instances involved.</para>
<section xml:id="security_groups_add_rule">
<title>Add a rule to the default security group</title>
<para>This procedure enables SSH and ICMP (ping) access to
instances. The rules apply to all instances within a given
project, and should be set for every project unless there
is a reason to prohibit SSH or ICMP access to the
instances.</para>
<para>This procedure can be adjusted as necessary to add
additional security group rules to a project, if your
cloud requires them.</para>
