I updated the networking content as follows: 1) Reordered example architectures to place the 3-node neutron architecture before the 2-node nova-network architecture which agrees with the order presented in other portions of the installation guide. 2) Changed network service naming to agree with conventions. 3) Permanently unlinked the Open vSwitch (OVS) plug-in sections from the Networking chapter. However, I will refrain from deleting the associated files in case we need to restore them. 4) Temporarily unlinked the Open vSwitch (OVS) portion of the Neutron concepts section until we can update it to reflect the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in. 5) Addressed other minor issues.

<para>An instance is a VM that OpenStack provisions on a compute node.

This guide shows you how to launch a minimal instance using the
|
|
<glossterm>CirrOS</glossterm> image that you added to your environment
|
|
in the <xref linkend="ch_glance"/> chapter. In these steps, you use the
|
|
command-line interface (CLI) on your controller node or any system with
|
|
the appropriate OpenStack client libraries. To use the dashboard, see the
