      <para>
        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.
