Exercise?

Exercise:

• Goal: Access the exoscale public cloud• How:– Get a promo code from me– Register– Launch an instance– Access the instance via ssh with a keypair

generated by exoscale– Setup cloudmonkey to talk to exoscale

Exoscale tips[server]

path = /compute

host = api.exoscale.ch

protocol = https

•Get you API access and secret key from the exoscale console under Account details.•Create a keypair and set it up on your machine•Edit the security group and add a rule for ssh access
