The beginning of the compute user guide. This also begins the simplification of the examples, makes them more specific, and adds testing. Change-Id: Ic4bac2fe30601c196b03ce73b2dd04a916231f33 Partial-Bug: #1487269 Partial-Bug: #1419012 Partial-Bug: #1466180

Using OpenStack Compute
Before working with the Compute service, you'll need to create a
connection to your OpenStack cloud by following the connect user guide. This will
provide you with the conn variable used in the examples
below.
Table of Contents
The primary resource of the Compute service is the server.
List Servers
A server is a virtual machine that provides access to a compute instance being run by your cloud provider.
../examples/compute/list.py
Full example: compute resource list
List Images
An image is the operating system you want to use for your server.
../examples/compute/list.py
Full example: compute resource list
List Flavors
A flavor is the resource configuration for a server. Each flavor is a unique combination of disk, memory, vCPUs, and network bandwidth.

List Networks
A network provides connectivity to servers.
../examples/network/list.py
Full example: network resource list
Create Server
At minimum, a server requires a name, an image, a flavor, and a network on creation. Once you've discovered these attributes by listing them as above, you can create a server.
Servers take time to boot so we call wait_for_server to
wait for it to become active.
