While we should not start using this for cloning things in the gate yet, the opendev.org links provide for a nicer browsing experience already even though the service is in beta. Go ahead and swap our browsing links. While in there, remove some masakari references to github links to the source code. Masakari now publishes api docs to developer.openstack.org so there is no need to point people to source code for api docs. Change-Id: I14afa3476f9832ef433ec744e888348fc9a359e3

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.
../examples/compute/list.py
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.
../examples/compute/create.py

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.
