+==================
+Launch an instance
+==================
+
+
+To access your instance remotely
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Add rules to the ``default`` security group:
+
+   a. Permit ``ICMP`` (ping):
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         $ nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0
+         +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
+         | IP Protocol | From Port | To Port | IP Range  | Source Group |
+         +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
+         | icmp        | -1        | -1      | 0.0.0.0/0 |              |
+         +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
+
+   b. Permit secure shell (SSH) access:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         $ nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0
+         +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
+         | IP Protocol | From Port | To Port | IP Range  | Source Group |
+         +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
+         | tcp         | 22        | 22      | 0.0.0.0/0 |              |
+         +-------------+-----------+---------+-----------+--------------+
+
+2. Create a ``floating IP address`` on the ``ext-net`` external network:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ neutron floatingip-create ext-net
+      Created a new floatingip:
