DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
`nova` is a command line client for controlling OpenStack Nova, the cloud
|
|
computing fabric controller. It implements 100% of the Nova API, allowing
|
|
management of instances, images, quotas and much more.
|
|
|
|
Before you can issue commands with `nova`, you must ensure that your
|
|
environment contains the necessary variables so that you can prove to the CLI
|
|
who you are and what credentials you have to issue the commands. See
|
|
`Getting Credentials for a CLI` section of `OpenStack CLI Guide` for more
|
|
info.
|
|
|
|
See `OpenStack Nova CLI Guide` for a full-fledged guide.
