how to create instances from web interface
asked 2014-02-11 10:48:01 -0500
I have managed to install openstack on VirtualBox running ubuntu 12.04 desktop as VM using devstack script.I am running Havana. I have created an image using a .vdi file from a Ubuntu Server VM I once created in VirtualBox. Since I came from AWS background I tend to think of OpenStack as a "private AWS" . I have not seen on the web interface any indication of creating an instance from my own images or any existing images. However I have seen lots of command line resource online for lauching/creating instances.
Kindly shed the light
Thank you
PS: I do not have enough privilege to post an image, I would have shared the interface am looking at
did you install the dashboard ? http://docs.openstack.org/havana/install-guide/install/apt/content/install_dashboard.html Rest of the things are self explanatory.

Under that, there is an empty table/grid starting with : "Project,Host etc " column. on the grid bottom bar, there is "Displaying 0 items".
