Cloud Actions
=============
Once a VM has been created, there are a number of actions that can be performed
on it. The "reboot" action can be used across all providers, but all other
actions are specific to the cloud provider. In order to perform an action, you
may specify it from the command line, including the name(s) of the VM to
perform the action on:
.. code-block:: bash
$ salt-cloud -a reboot vm_name
$ salt-cloud -a reboot vm1 vm2 vm2
Or you may specify a map which includes all VMs to perform the action on:
.. code-block:: bash
$ salt-cloud -a reboot -m /path/to/mapfile
The following is a list of actions currently supported by salt-cloud:
.. code-block:: yaml
all providers:
- reboot
ec2:
- start
- stop
joyent:
- stop
linode:
- start
- stop
