Hi Jonathan
Glad we're getting a few steps further!
Also, I am unclear where I would set the machine type,
zone etc. in this example (if the example would allow
that) - any advice would be gratefully received.
jclouds uses the concept of a "template" that describes your
requirements for the type of machine to boot. It'll then try to find an
available image type to match those requirements.
The compute-basics example uses a very simple, hard-coded template:
https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-examples/blob/master/compute-basics/src/main/java/org/jclouds/examples/compute/basics/MainApp.java#L146-L158
You can change the code in here to create a different, more specific
template. See the TemplateBuilder Javadoc [1] for details.
I'm afraid I can help that much with the credential error, except to
point out that the way jclouds tries to access the target machines in
the example is configured here:
https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-examples/blob/master/compute-basics/src/main/java/org/jclouds/examples/compute/basics/MainApp.java#L158
You may need to build your own AdminAccess object with different
settings. See the AdminAccess.Builder [2] Javadoc for details.
