osc compute server

Servers (servers)

Lists, creates, shows details for, updates, and deletes servers.

Passwords

When you create a server, you can specify a password through the optional adminPass attribute. The password must meet the complexity requirements set by your OpenStack Compute provider. The server might enter an ERROR state if the complexity requirements are not met. In this case, a client might issue a change password action to reset the server password.

If you do not specify a password, the API generates and assigns a random password that it returns in the response object. This password meets the security requirements set by the compute provider. For security reasons, subsequent GET calls do not require this password.

Server metadata

You can specify custom server metadata at server launch time. The maximum size for each metadata key-value pair is 255 bytes. The compute provider determines the maximum number of key-value pairs for each server. You can query this value through the maxServerMeta absolute limit.
