Cockpit v2 is now out of beta following the deployment of version 2.9:
-
As a consequence, the User Guide will now primarily use the terms used by Cockpit v2, which are also the terms of the OUTSCALE API (for example, resources are called virtual machines, Nets, etc.), rather than the legacy AWS terminology that was previously used (for example, instances, VPCs, etc.). Tooltips remain available on mouse hover to facilitate the transition. This terminology change also applies to page titles (for example, About Instances now redirects to About VMs).
-
For more information about version 2.9 of Cockpit v2, see the Cockpit v2 Release Notes.

-
: The first button copies the code as is, therefore as a multiline string. -
: The second button copies the code formatted as a single-line command (where applicable).
