Node object status won't get updated automatically - you need to poll for changes (either using list_nodes() with filtering on hte node id or get_node() method).
Here is an example of how that is implemented in the "_wait_until_running_method()" method - https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/compute/base.py#L1678 (although that method is more complex since it doesn't just wait for a state transition, but also for the node to have IP address assigned). ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021 at 2:01 PM, Massimo Canonico <massimo.canon...@uniupo.it> wrote: > Hi, > > with the code that you can see after my signature, I was able to try to run > an instance with libcloud.
