Problem

How to use the exo compute command: Manage Exoscale Compute resources. Some subcommands such as instance have their own documentation. More information: <https://community.exoscale.com/product/>.

Solution

exo compute — Manage Exoscale Compute resources. Some subcommands such as instance have their own documentation. More information: <https://community.exoscale.com/product/>.

Quickly create an Exoscale Compute resource (e.g., instance, Security Group, SKS cluster,...):

exo compute {{resource_type}} create {{resource_name}}

List Exoscale Compute instance types:

exo compute instance-type list

Register a new SSH key that can be used to access Compute instances:

exo compute ssh-key register {{key_name}} {{public_key_file}}

Create a Compute instance with an ssh-key deployed on it:

exo compute instance create {{instance_name}} {{ssh_key_name}}

Register a new Compute instance template based on a Snapshot of a Compute instance (useful when you want to quickly create a replica of a Compute instance):

exo compute instance template register {{template_name}} --from-snapshot {{snapshot_id}}

Add a new rule to an existing Security Group:

exo compute security-group rule add {{security_group_name|id}} --description '{{Allow SSH access}}' --flow {{ingress}} --port {{22}} --network {{0.0.0.0/0}}

Manage the services of an existing Network Load Balancer:

exo compute load-balancer service add {{load_balancer_name|id}} {{service_name}} --port {{service_port}}
