Command-line
Once connected to the DMZ VPN - users are provided access to the environment access node, typically used to interact with the OpenStack environment. Several OpenStack command-line tools are preinstalled on the cluster login node.
To be able to use command-line tools, the correct OpenStack authentication file will need to be downloaded from the Horizon dashboard, as previously detailed.
The user-facing tools installed and their basic usage are:
