Kingbird

Centralised service for multi-region OpenStack deployments.

Kingbird is an centralized OpenStack service that provides resource operation and management across multiple OpenStack instances in a multi-region OpenStack deployment. This service is part of the OPNFV Multisite project that intends to address the use cases related to distributed cloud environments.

Kingbird provides features like centralized quota management, centralized view for distributed virtual resources, global view for tenant level IP/MAC address space management, synchronisation of ssh keys, images, flavors, etc. across regions.

python-kingbirdclient

Python client for Kingbird

This is a client library for Kingbird built on the Kingbird API. It provides a Python API (the kingbirdclient module) and a command-line tool (kingbird).

Installation

First of all, clone the repo and go to the repo directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/openstack/python-kingbirdclient.git
$ cd python-kingbirdclient

Then just run:

$ pip install -e .

or:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install

Running Kingbird client

If Kingbird authentication is enabled, provide the information about OpenStack auth to environment variables. Type:

$ export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=<PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID>
$ export OS_REGION_NAME=<Region>
$ export OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=<USER_DOMAIN_ID>
$ export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project_name>
$ export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=<identity_version>
$ export OS_PASSWORD=<password>
$ export OS_AUTH_TYPE=<auth_type>
$ export OS_AUTH_URL=http://<Keystone_host>/identity
$ export OS_USERNAME=<user_name>
$ export OS_TENANT_NAME=<tenant_name>

Note

In client, we use Keystone auth version v3 as server supports only v3.*

To make sure Kingbird client works, type:

$ kingbird quota defaults

or:

$ kingbird sync list

You can see the list of available commands typing:

$ kingbird --help
