+# IONOS VMaaS
+[ionos_vmaas](https://github.com/hpi-schul-cloud/) is a tool to manage our VM we have to provide in the dbildungsplattform context.
+This tool can
+- create a VM
+- delete a VM
+- create a snapshots
+- delete a snapshot
+- create a list of all VMs in a Datacenter ...
+
+## Prerequisites
+* An account to IONOS datacenter 
+* Python 3.6++
+* A terminal shell in a Linux operated environment
+
+## Installation
+* Run 'pip3 install -r requirements.txt' to install the required Python packages.
+* ´´´ pip install git+https://github.com/ionos-cloud/sdk-python.git ´´´
+
+
+## Configuration
