VM instances
Quake AI concept: Instances
- Uses REST API 'instances.insert' instead of Nova 'servers.create' with different auth via service accounts vs Keystone.
- Supports bare metal instances (no hypervisor), not in standard OpenStack Nova.
- Network interfaces tied to VPC subnets; differs from Neutron ports/floating IPs.
