doc8 is a linter for documents and used in openstack-manuals. It is better to enforce document linters for simple checking. This change is to add doc8 in tox file and fix line too long in some files. The current rules are as bellow: - invalid rst format - D000 - lines should not be longer than 79 characters - D001 - RST exception: line with no whitespace except in the beginning - RST exception: lines with http or https urls - RST exception: literal blocks - RST exception: rst target directives - no trailing whitespace - D002 - no tabulation for indentation - D003 - no carriage returns (use unix newlines) - D004 - no newline at end of file - D005 Change-Id: I5b409fbfd95e05921310c6ecf4afea0220fb0bf0

Using OpenStack Compute
Before working with the Compute service, you'll need to create a
connection to your OpenStack cloud by following the connect user guide. This will
provide you with the conn variable used in the examples
below.
Table of Contents
The primary resource of the Compute service is the server.
List Servers
A server is a virtual machine that provides access to a compute instance being run by your cloud provider.
../examples/compute/list.py
Full example: compute resource list
List Images
An image is the operating system you want to use for your server.

Full example: compute resource list
List Flavors
A flavor is the resource configuration for a server. Each flavor is a unique combination of disk, memory, vCPUs, and network bandwidth.

List Networks
A network provides connectivity to servers.
../examples/network/list.py
Full example: network resource list
Create Key Pair
A key pair is the public key and private key of public–key cryptography. They are used to encrypt and decrypt login information when connecting to your server.

Create Server
At minimum, a server requires a name, an image, a flavor, and a network on creation. You can discover the names and IDs of these attributes by listing them as above and then using the find methods to get the appropriate resources.
Ideally you'll also create a server using a keypair so you can login to that server with the private key.
Servers take time to boot so we call wait_for_server to
wait for it to become active.
