We will launch our first Trove instance with one simple command. We will discuss the command format in detail in the coming section. However, the simplest command will need the following information:
Flavor ID: The ID of the flavor. Say we are spinning up an
m1.small, we will use the ID 2.Name: This will be the name of the instance; you can choose it to describe the instance. In our case, let us say
mytest.Size of the volume: As we have discussed earlier in the book, Trove installs and moves the data volumes to the cinder volume. Therefore, we will need to provide the size for it.
Datastore: The name of the datastore, in our case MySQL.
Datastore version: The version of the datastore, in our case 5.6.
Now that we have all the information we need, let us take a look at the command:
trove create mytest 2 --size 1 --datastore mysql --datastore_version 5.6
This will return the ID of the instance being created.
