# if you are on devstack, password is “cubswin:)” without the quotes

# Show details of instance
nova show <name>
nova show MyFirstInstance

# View console log of instance
nova console-log MyFirstInstance

# Pause, suspend, stop, rescue, resize, rebuild, reboot an instance
# Pause
nova pause <name>

# Inject a keypair into an instance and access the instance with that keypair
# Create keypair

# Set metadata on an instance
nova meta volumeTwoImage set newmeta=’my meta data’

# Create an instance snapshot
nova image-create volumeTwoImage snapshotOfVolumeImage
nova image-show snapshotOfVolumeImage

# Manage security groups
