          OS_REGION_NAME=<a class="zem_slink" title="Deutsche Flugzeug-Werke" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Flugzeug-Werke" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">DFW</a>

          NOVA_SERVICE_NAME=cloudServersOpenStack

          OS_PASSWORD=my_password

          OS_USERNAME=my_username

          OS_TENANT_NAME=my_tenant_name

          You can check out the configuration section of <a href="http://supernova.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/">Getting started</a> page.
        
      
    
  

And once you have created the configuration file, it is very simple. Some example commands

supernova [enviromment_name[,enviromment_name]...] [commands]

Examples

supernova prod list
supernova prod image-list
supernova prod flavor-list
supernova prod boot --image image_uuid --flavor flavor_id myserver.example.com
