=='''Cloud Server section'''==
# ON/OFF – These buttons allow you to boot up or force-close the server. The OFF button performs a shutdown on an electrical level, not stopping the services in execution at that time. 
# Cloud Server Name - Shows you the name assigned to the Cloud Server.
# Reboot Cloud Server - Lets you do an ordered reboot of your server by stopping services before rebooting.
# Delete Cloud Server - By using this option you will delete your Cloud Server and erase the resources assigned to it, so they will be unallocated and will return to your Cloud resources pool. Keep in mind that this option will erase all data on the Cloud Server.
# Show root password - Lets you see superadmin password: root (Linux) or Administrator (Windows).
# Console access - Lets you access your machines prompt. The prompt displays your Cloud Server information in real time, so you will be able to use it, for instance, to view your server boot-up process. To access the prompt, you need Java installed in your browser. Although Gigas prompt gives your immediate access to your cloud server, we recommend you use more customizable and flexible accesses such as Secure Shell (SSH) or Terminal Server. 
# Re-install OS - Allows you to re-install your Cloud Server with the Operating System you pick from the available image list. Keep in mind that this option will erase all data contained in the Cloud Server.
# Add a short description to your Cloud Server - Lets you add a short description to your Cloud Server.
# Add a tag - Lets you manage the tags assigned to your Cloud Server.

#Add more space - Lets you contract additional space that you can assign later.
#Free space for backups and templates - Informs you on the space available for you to do backups and store templates. Keep in mind that those are stored in a different machine than your Cloud Server which has the same amount of total disk space that your Cloud Server.
#Type of disk  - It can be SAS (high performance), SATA o Solid State (SSD).
#Disk - Lets you know the disk ID (useful to distinguish between same type and size disks).
#Size - Shows you the disk size.
#Type - It can be Primary, Swap, Secondary.
