Compute service CLI reference¶

See https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/cli-reference/nova.html.

These commands allow you to perform various operations on instances, such as listing, creating, deleting, and resizing instances, as well as managing flavors and key pairs. The <server_id_or_name>, <flavor_id_or_name>, and <keypair_name> parameters are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual IDs or names of the resources you are working with.
