Public Documentation
September 20, 2023
-
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.
-
September 18, 2023
-
A new version of IAM has been released. A page summarizing all the new features and updates of this release is available: IAM 1.5 Features Reference.

August 30, 2023
-
The OUTSCALE API documentation now includes fully functional code samples:
-
Each of the 180 available methods features at least one code sample per programming language.
-
Some of the methods feature multiple code samples per programming language. For example, the CreateImage method features four different code samples, each one for a different use case in terms of request parameters.
-
For convenience, two copy buttons appear next to each code sample on mouse hover:
-
: 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).

The search feature of the User Guide has been improved:
-
When using the search bar at the top right, you can now view the results in a distinct page and not only in the dropdown list.
-
You can now add the public documentation to your browser’s search engines. Doing so enables you to quickly search the documentation website by using a keyword shortcut. For example, you can type
osc vm typesin your URL bar to directly launch a search for "vm types" in the documentation, even if you are not already on the website. For more information, see Searching the Public Documentation From Your URL Bar.

You can now export any page of the User Guide to the PDF format, by using the button located in the right-side column of each page.
