User guide

Synergy doesn't need extra tools to create VMs into the private or shared quota but they are created in the standard OpenStack way (i.e. shell and dashboard). For example:

# openstack server create <options>

By default, the VMs are instantiated into the private quota. To select the shared quota, is needed to place special keys in the local user data file and pass it through the--user-data <user-data-file> parameter at instance creation:

# cat mydata.txt 
[synergy]
quota=shared

# openstack server create --image ubuntu-cloudimage --flavor 1 --user-data mydata.txt VM_INSTANCE
