+ Creates new instance in the Cloud.
+ There are two standard ways to create an instance in the Cloud:
+ 1. Create an instance from an existing custom image.
+ 2. Create an instance from an existing bootable volume. This bootable volume shouldn't be attached to any instance.
+ For the 1st approach next parameters are required: image-id and boot-disk-size.
+ For the 2nd approach next parameters are required: boot-volume-id;
+ The rest parameters are common for both cases:
+ display-name, launch-mode, subnet-id, publicIP, privateIP, shape, domain.
