         1. SSH to the instance
         2. Start two http backends listening on ports 80 and 88 respectively
-        In case there are two instances, each backend is created on a separate
-        instance.
-
-        The backends are the inetd services. To start them we need to edit
-        /etc/inetd.conf in the following way:
-        www stream tcp nowait root /bin/sh sh /home/cirros/script_name
-
-        Where /home/cirros/script_name is a path to a script which
-        echoes the responses:
-        echo -e 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\nserver_name
-
-        If we want the server to listen on port 88, then we use
-        "kerberos" instead of "www".
