Login to a single/multiple clouds

To logon to a cloud use:

cloud logon kilo

Logged into cloud: kilo

You can logon to multiple clouds:

cloud logon kilo

Logged into cloud: kilo

| aws        | Logged Out |
| azure      | Logged Out |
| chameleon  | Logged Out |
| kilo       | Active     |
+------------+------------+

Warning

logon does not give error but after that the status in

‘cloud list’ does not show the cloud as ‘Active’. Maybe a duplication when we have a new column ‘Active’ in addition to ‘Status’?
