Please, ANSWER this question AT https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36659275/fiware-cloud-new-instances-statuses-and-connection

Question:
Fiware cloud new instances, statuses and connection

Description:
How to create FiWare instance and connect it to internet?
I like the idea and I have big plans on using this infrastructure, but...

I've trying to create instance and make ssh connection to it for some time now.

Created key-pair
Created security group (22,3306,1)
Created instance ubuntu 14 (also tried others)

Also tried ubuntu 12, POI and others already

Added node-int-net-01 and node-int-noinet-net-02 to it when creating

Also tried already with 1 network only

Allocated floating IP
Associated it with the local IP that came from "node-int-net-01"

Statuses:

Instance: ACTIVE, Power State RUNNING
"node-int-net-01" networks in list: shared-subnet 192.168.192.0/18 Yes ACTIVE UP
Inside "node-int-net-01":

Network: Admin State: DOWN, Shared: No, External Network: No

Subnet: DHCP and all ok

Ports: Status: BUILD, Admin State: UP

The confusing parts are (for clue, don't have to answer those if we have solution):

How can network be EXTERNAL-SHARED-ACTIVE-UP and DOWN-NOT_SHARED-NO_EXTERNAL at the same time - perhaps there's an error
What means Port status: BUILD, i mean it must have been building the port like 3 days already. Should i build there something, is it an order or status? Perhaps it means BUILT or BUILDING instead.
What means instance ACTIVE? Is it still active (busy) and i should wait? Or it can be actively used already? From VM Display I never saw it going to unix prompt>, is it kind of fiware itself using this telnet instance? I rather saw things like
"request error",
"connection timeout",
"socket.error",
"Error 101 Network is unreachable".
"cloud-init-nonet [13:31]: waiting 120 seconds for network device"
numerous black-screens and never ending Booting from hard-disk
from Instance log saw endless: "Waiting for network configuration", but that one was cured
Thou i saw "localhost login prompt, but as i only created PEM, then
cant imagine what to do with it - where do i get root/pwd? But i guess it was some error that it ended up there.

The latest status from Instance\Log is:

cloud-init-nonet[4.52]: static networking is now up

• Starting configure network device[74G[ OK ]
• Starting Mount network filesystems[74G[ OK ]
• Stopping Mount network filesystems[74G[ OK ]

For a ping and ssh i get: "Destination Host Unreachable" and "No route to host"
Also tried allocating floating IP with "federation" pool, but with that IP i just got time-outs for ping and ssh

I read already:

Followed also the steps in this slideshow http://www.slideshare.net/fermingalan/developing-your-first-application-using-fi-ware-20130903
http://cosmos.lab.fi-ware.org/cosmos-gui/ seems to be down

EDIT: can use this one (need to use https and accept bad cert)

http://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.OpenSpecification.Data.BigData_R4#Basic_concepts
http://catalogue.fiware.org/enablers/bigdata-analysis-cosmos/documentation - no info about it neither.

Any ideas? Perhaps there is an UI (other than the web page at https://cloud.lab.fiware.org/ that seems to be in early beta) for using FiWare (that can do all the "anyway-mandatory" steps for users (developers)?
Maybe the problem is that I'm a software developer not network administrator, and perhaps this interface is meant for linux network andministrators.
