.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Salt Cloud is the system used to provision virtual machines on various public
clouds via a cleanly controlled profile and mapping system.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Print a usage message briefly summarizing these command\-line options.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-p PROFILE, \-\-profile=PROFILE
Select a single profile to build the named cloud VMs from. The profile
must be defined in the specified profiles file.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-m MAP, \-\-map=MAP
Specify a map file to use. If used without any other options, this option
will ensure that all of the mapped VMs are created. If VM names are
also passed as arguments, they will be used to filter the map file.
If the named VM already exists then it will be skipped.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-H, \-\-hard
When specifying a map file, the default behavior is to ensure that all of
the VMs specified in the map file are created. If the \-\-hard option is
set, then any VMs that exist on configured cloud providers that are
not specified in the map file will be destroyed. Be advised that this can
be a destructive operation and should be used with care.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-destroy
Pass in the name(s) of VMs to destroy, salt\-cloud will search the
configured cloud providers for the specified names and destroy the
VMs. Be advised that this is a destructive operation and should be used
with care. Can be used in conjunction with the \-m option to specify a map
of VMs to be deleted.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-P, \-\-parallel
Normally when building many cloud VMs they are executed serially. The \-P
option will run each cloud vm build in a separate process allowing for
large groups of VMs to be build at once.
.sp
Be advised that some cloud provider\(aqs systems don\(aqt seem to be well suited
for this influx of vm creation. When creating large groups of VMs watch the
cloud provider carefully.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-Q, \-\-query
Execute a query and print out information about all cloud VMs. Can be used
in conjunction with \-m to display only information about the specified map.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-F, \-\-full\-query
Execute a query and print out all available information about all cloud VMs.
Can be used in conjunction with \-m to display only information about the
specified map.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-S, \-\-select\-query
Execute a query and print out selected information about all cloud VMs.
Can be used in conjunction with \-m to display only information about the
specified map.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-list\-images
Display a list of images available in configured cloud providers.
Pass the cloud provider that available images are desired on, aka
"linode", or pass "all" to list images for all configured cloud providers.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-list\-sizes
Display a list of sizes available in configured cloud providers. Pass the
cloud provider that available sizes are desired on, aka "aws", or pass
"all" to list sizes for all configured cloud providers
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-C CLOUD_CONFIG, \-\-cloud\-config=CLOUD_CONFIG
