Finally, create a new Server with CoreOS Stable:
vultr server create --name test --region 7 --plan 29 --os 179
Which should return something like:
Virtual machine created
SUBID NAME DCID VPSPLANID OSID
2098003 test 7 29 179
See its status:
vultr server show 2098003
Which should return something like:
vultr server show 2098003

Eventually it will change to the active state:

Power status: running

The server is only ready when its status is active and power_status is running:
Status: active
Power status: running
IP: 108.61.198.179
NB As of 2015-06-21 there is no way to known if the server is shutdown. That is, if you do a poweroff you don't have a way to known that...
You can now try to access it:
vultr ssh 2098003
Unfortunately that fails on my machine with:
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x5153ce]
goroutine 1 [running]:
golang.org/x/crypto/ssh.NewClientConn(0x2c21a0, 0xc082044050, 0xc08209d380, 0x11, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xc0820224e0, 0x0, ...)

c:/Users/rgl/.go/src/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/client.go:176 +0x100
Just try again with a regular ssh client (use the password given in Default password attribute):
ssh root@108.61.198.179
When you are finished playing with the server, You can now delete it:
vultr server delete 2098003
Which should return:
Virtual machine deleted
From this point onwards, you can no longer access the server from the API.
