## Description

### Common options

The word `cloud` is an umbrella term for all commands related to intercommunication with the Cloud. The following common options must be placed after the `cloud` argument and before the following sub-commands:

--provider=name

  Short cloud provider name.

--profile=name

  Cloud profile name.

### cloud list instances

Displays a list of the cloud instances for a specified compartment.

--state=running|paused|terminated

  The state of cloud instance. The possible states are `running`, `paused`, and `terminated`. If a state isn't provided a list of instances with all possible states is returned.

`--compartment-id`

  A compartment is the logical container used to organize and isolate cloud resources. Different cloud providers may use different names for this entity.

### cloud list images

Displays the list of the images for a specified compartment.

--state=available|disabled|deleted

  The state of the cloud image. The possible states are `available`, `disabled` and `deleted`. If a state isn't provided a list of images with all possible states is returned.

`--compartment-id`

  A compartment is the logical container used to organize and isolate cloud resources. Different cloud providers may use different names for this entity.

### cloud list vnic attachments

Displays the list of the vnic attachments for a specified compartment.

--filter={instanceId|vnicId|domainName}=string

  Filters are used to narrow down the set of Vnic attachments of interest. This parameter can be specified multiple times. The possible filter types are `instanceId`, `vnicId`, or `availabilityDomain`.

  Filters have a syntax of type=[value] as seen in the following examples:

  - instanceId=ocid1.instance.oc1.iad.anuwcl...js6

  - vnicId=ocid1.vnic.oc1.iad.abuwcl...jsm

  - domainName=ergw:US-ASHBURN-AD-2

  If a filter isn't provided the entire list of vnic attachments for a specified compartment is returned.

`--compartment-id`

  A compartment is the logical container used to organize and isolate cloud resources. Different cloud providers may use different names for this entity.

### cloud instance create

Creates new instance in the Cloud. There are two standard ways to create an instance in the Cloud:

1. Create an instance from an existing custom image.

2. Create an instance from an existing bootable volume. This bootable volume shouldn't be attached to any instance.

The first approach requires the following two options: `image-id`, `boot-disk-size`. The second approach requires the following option: `boot-volume-id`.

The following options are common to both cases: `display-name`, `launch-mode`, `subnet-id`, `publicIP`, `privateIP`, `shape`, `domain`.

`--domain-name`

  Cloud domain where the new instance is to be created.

`--image-id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies a custom image in the Cloud.

`--boot-volume-id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies a boot volume in the Cloud.

`--display-name`

  Name for the new instance in the Cloud.

`--shape`

  The shape of the instance which defines the number of CPUs and memory (RAM).

`--subnet`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies an existing subnet in the Cloud which will be used by the instance.

`--boot-disk-size`

  The size of the bootable image in GB. Default is 50GB.

`--publicip`

  Public IP address for the created instance.

`--privateip`

  Private IP address for the created instance.

`--public-ssh-key`

  Public SSH key to use to connect to the instance via SSH. This parameter may be repeated if using more than one key: `--public-ssh-key=firstSSHKey --public-ssh-key=secondSSHKey`.

`--launch-mode`

  Supported values are EMULATED, NATIVE, and PARAVIRTUALIZED.

`--cloud-init-script-path`

  Absolute path to the cloud-init script.

### cloud instance info

Display information about a cloud instance with a specified ID.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

### cloud instance termination

Delete a cloud instance with a specified ID.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

### cloud instance start

Start a cloud instance with a specified ID.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

### cloud instance pause

Pause a cloud instance with a specified ID.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

### cloud instance reset

Force reset a cloud instance with a specified ID.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

### cloud instance clone

Clone a cloud instance with the specified ID. Only works for the instances accessible through &product-name;, i.e., not every instance in the cloud may be cloned.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

`--clone-name`

  Name for the clone instance

### available list of metrics for cloud instances

Displays the list of the available metrics for the instance. The returned names must be used with the command `VBoxManage cloud instance metricdata`.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

### Displays cloud instance metric data

Displays the metric data with the resolution of 1 minute for the requested cloud instances. The timestamps are returned in the format described in RFC2822.

`--id`

  Unique identifier which fully identifies the instance in the Cloud.

`--metric-name`

  Metric name

`--metric-points`

  Metric points begin at the current time, which has a value of one, and continue into the past with the values increasing. If only the most recent metric point is desired supply the value `1`. If the most recent value and the preceding value are desired then supply a value of `2`.

### cloud image create

Creates new image in the Cloud. There are two standard ways to create an image in the Cloud:

1. Create an image from an object in the Cloud Storage.

2. Create an image from an existing cloud instance.

For the first approach the following three options are required: `bucket-name`, `object-name`, and `display-name`.

For the second approach the following two options are required: `instance-id`, `display-name`

`--display-name`

  Name for new image in the Cloud.

`--bucket-name`
