Using OpenStack Dashboard to delete instances

Terminating instances is very simple when using the OpenStack Dashboard.

Getting ready

Load a web browser, point it to our OpenStack Dashboard address at http://192.168.100.117/, and log in as a user in the default domain, such as the developer user, created in the Common OpenStack identity tasks recipe in Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client with the cookbook4 password. The URL for our dashboard is same as the public load balancer IP as discussed in Chapter 1, Installing OpenStack with Ansible. If you need to find out at what URL your Horizon is, use public IP from the OpenStack catalog list as described in Chapter 3, Keystone – OpenStack Identity Service.
