Instances
Create instance
Create a new compute instance.
SSH access: pass an SSH public key in the public_key field to seed the instance's authorized_keys. If omitted, Thunder generates a key pair and returns the private key in the response (it is only returned once — store it immediately).
Note: SSH keys saved in your account (Authentication section of the console) are a separate store and are NOT automatically attached to new instances. To use one of those keys, copy its public key material into the public_key field on this request.
