    desired flavor for the server. Changing this resizes the existing server.

* `floating_ip` - (Optional) A *Compute* Floating IP that will be associated
    with the Instance. The Floating IP must be provisioned already. See *Notes*
    for more information about Floating IPs.

* `user_data` - (Optional) The user data to provide when launching the instance.
    Changing this creates a new server.

* `security_groups` - (Optional) An array of one or more security group names
    to associate with the server. Changing this results in adding/removing
    security groups from the existing server. *Note*: When attaching the
    instance to networks using Ports, place the security groups on the Port
    and not the instance.

* `availability_zone` - (Optional) The availability zone in which to create
    the server. Changing this creates a new server.

* `network` - (Optional) An array of one or more networks to attach to the
    instance. The network object structure is documented below. Changing this

* `metadata` - (Optional) Metadata key/value pairs to make available from
    within the instance. Changing this updates the existing server metadata.

* `config_drive` - (Optional) Whether to use the config_drive feature to
    configure the instance. Changing this creates a new server.

* `admin_pass` - (Optional) The administrative password to assign to the server.
    Changing this changes the root password on the existing server.

* `key_pair` - (Optional) The name of a key pair to put on the server. The key
    pair must already be created and associated with the tenant's account.
    Changing this creates a new server.

* `block_device` - (Optional) The object for booting by volume. The block_device
    object structure is documented below. Changing this creates a new server.
    You can specify multiple block devices which will create an instance with
    multiple ephemeral (local) disks.

* `volume` - (Optional) Attach an existing volume to the instance. The volume
    structure is described below.

* `scheduler_hints` - (Optional) Provide the Nova scheduler with hints on how
    the instance should be launched. The available hints are described below.

    defining one or more files and their contents. The personality structure
    is described below.

* `stop_before_destroy` - (Optional) Whether to try stop instance gracefully
    before destroying it, thus giving chance for guest OS daemons to stop correctly.
    If instance doesn't stop within timeout, it will be destroyed anyway.


The `network` block supports:

* `uuid` - (Required unless `port`  or `name` is provided) The network UUID to
    attach to the server. Changing this creates a new server.

    with this network. Cannot be combined with a top-level floating IP. See
    *Notes* for more information about Floating IPs.

* `access_network` - (Optional) Specifies if this network should be used for
    provisioning access. Accepts true or false. Defaults to false.

The `block_device` block supports:

* `uuid` - (Required unless `source_type` is set to `"blank"` ) The UUID of
    the image, volume, or snapshot. Changing this creates a new server.

* `source_type` - (Required) The source type of the device. Must be one of
    "blank", "image", "volume", or "snapshot". Changing this creates a new
    server.

* `volume_size` - The size of the volume to create (in gigabytes). Required
    in the following combinations: source=image and destination=volume,
    source=blank and destination=local. Changing this creates a new server.

* `boot_index` - (Optional) The boot index of the volume. It defaults to 0.
    Changing this creates a new server.

* `destination_type` - (Optional) The type that gets created. Possible values
    are "volume" and "local". Changing this creates a new server.

* `delete_on_termination` - (Optional) Delete the volume / block device upon

## Notes

### Floating IPs

Floating IPs can be associated in one of two ways:

* You can specify a Floating IP address by using the top-level `floating_ip`
attribute. This floating IP will be associated with either the network defined
in the first `network` block or the default network if no `network` blocks are
defined.

* You can specify a Floating IP address by using the `floating_ip` attribute
defined in the `network` block. Each `network` block can have its own floating
IP address.

Only one of the above methods can be used.

### Multiple Ephemeral Disks

It's possible to specify multiple `block_device` entries to create an instance
with multiple ephemeral (local) disks. In order to create multiple ephemeral
disks, the sum of the total amount of ephemeral space must be less than or
equal to what the chosen flavor supports.

The following example shows how to create an instance with multiple ephemeral
disks:

```
resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "foo" {
  name = "terraform-test"
  security_groups = ["default"]

  block_device {
    boot_index = 0
    delete_on_termination = true
    destination_type = "local"
    source_type = "image"
    uuid = "<image uuid>"
  }

  block_device {
    boot_index = -1
    delete_on_termination = true
    destination_type = "local"
    source_type = "blank"
    volume_size = 1
  }

  block_device {
    boot_index = -1
    delete_on_termination = true
    destination_type = "local"
    source_type = "blank"
    volume_size = 1
  }
}
```

### Instances and Ports

Neutron Ports are a great feature and provide a lot of functionality. However,
there are some notes to be aware of when mixing Instances and Ports:

* When attaching an Instance to one or more networks using Ports, place the
security groups on the Port and not the Instance. If you place the security
groups on the Instance, the security groups will not be applied upon creation,
but they will be applied upon a refresh. This is a known OpenStack bug.

* Network IP information is not available within an instance for networks that
are attached with Ports. This is mostly due to the flexibility Neutron Ports
provide when it comes to IP addresses. For example, a Neutron Port can have
multiple Fixed IP addresses associated with it. It's not possible to know which
single IP address the user would want returned to the Instance's state
information. Therefore, in order for a Provisioner to connect to an Instance
via it's network Port, customize the `connection` information:

```
resource "openstack_networking_port_v2" "port_1" {
  name = "port_1"
  admin_state_up = "true"

  network_id = "0a1d0a27-cffa-4de3-92c5-9d3fd3f2e74d"
  security_group_ids = [
    "2f02d20a-8dca-49b7-b26f-b6ce9fddaf4f",
    "ca1e5ed7-dae8-4605-987b-fadaeeb30461",
  ]

}

resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "instance_1" {
  name        = "instance_1"

  network {
    port = "${openstack_networking_port_v2.port_1.id}"
  }

  connection {
    user = "root"
    host = "${openstack_networking_port_v2.port_1.fixed_ip.0.ip_address}"
    private_key = "~/path/to/key"
  }

  provisioner "remote-exec" {
    inline = [
      "echo terraform executed > /tmp/foo"
    ]
  }
}
```
