Each exercise in this roadmap assumes that you have completed all previous exercises in the roadmap. The exercises have the following requirements:

• An ACCESS User ID, which may be obtained from the ACCESS User Registration page.
• An ACCESS allocation. ACCESS provides complete information about its allocations, while Jetstream2 provides an overview of the types of allocations that are available, with links to detailed information about allocations in the context of Jetstream2.

This first exercise asks you to create some OpenStack entities using the Horizon web interface. To complete it you must do the following:

• Log in to Jetstream2's Horizon dashboard and select a project (allocation and region).
• Use Horizon to create a security group and a key pair.
• If there is no auto_allocated_network network present, use Horizon to create a private network and a router, then connect the router to the network.
• Use Horizon to create an instance from the entities you made in earlier steps.
• Use Horizon to allocate a floating IP address and associate it with your instance.
• Use SSH to log in to your instance.
• When you are done testing the instance, use Horizon to shelve it and disassociate its IP address.
