nova: List VMs on current tenant.
$ nova list
try on your machine
The nova list
command is used in OpenStack to retrieve a list of all the instances (virtual machines) existing in the compute service.
When you run the nova list
command, it queries the OpenStack Nova service and displays information about each instance, which typically includes details such as the instance ID, name, status (e.g., ACTIVE, SHUTOFF), availability zone, flavor, and other relevant information.
This command can be useful for administrators or users who want to get an overview of all the instances running in their OpenStack environment and check their status, resource allocation, and other important details.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
