Salt Cloud basic usage
======================
Salt Cloud needs, at least, one configured
:ref:`Provider <cloud-provider-specifics>`
and :doc:`Profile <profiles>` to be functional.
Creating a VM
-------------
To create a VM with salt cloud, use command:
.. code-block:: bash
salt-cloud -p <profile> name_of_vm
Assuming there is a profile configured as following:
.. code-block:: bash
fedora_rackspace:
provider: my-rackspace-config
image: Fedora 17
size: 256 server
script: bootstrap-salt
Then, the command to create new VM named ``fedora_http_01`` is:
.. code-block:: bash
salt-cloud -p fedora_rackspace fedora_http_01
Destroying a VM
---------------
To destroy a created-by-salt-cloud VM, use command:
.. code-block:: bash
salt-cloud -d name_of_vm
For example, to delete the VM created on above example, use:
.. code-block:: bash
salt-cloud -d fedora_http_01
