============ openstacksdk ============ openstacksdk is a client library for building applications to work with OpenStack clouds. The project aims to provide a consistent and complete set of interactions with OpenStack's many services, along with complete documentation, examples, and tools. It also contains an abstraction interface layer. Clouds can do many things, but there are probably only about 10 of them that most people care about with any regularity. If you want to do complicated things, the per-service oriented portions of the SDK are for you. However, if what you want is to be able to write an application that talks to any OpenStack cloud regardless of configuration, then the Cloud Abstraction layer is for you. More information about the history of openstacksdk can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/latest/contributor/history.html Getting started --------------- openstacksdk aims to talk to any OpenStack cloud. To do this, it requires a configuration file. openstacksdk favours ``clouds.yaml`` files, but can also use environment variables. The ``clouds.yaml`` file should be provided by your cloud provider or deployment tooling. An example: .. code-block:: yaml clouds: mordred: region_name: Dallas auth: username: 'mordred' password: XXXXXXX project_name: 'demo' auth_url: 'https://identity.example.com' openstacksdk will look for ``clouds.yaml`` files in the following locations: * ``.`` (the current directory) * ``$HOME/.config/openstack`` * ``/etc/openstack`` openstacksdk consists of three layers. Most users will make use of the *proxy* layer. Using the above ``clouds.yaml``, consider listing servers: .. code-block:: python import openstack # Initialize and turn on debug logging openstack.enable_logging(debug=True) # Initialize connection conn = openstack.connect(cloud='mordred') # List the servers for server in conn.compute.servers(): print(server.to_dict()) openstacksdk also contains a higher-level *cloud* layer based on logical operations: .. code-block:: python import openstack # Initialize and turn on debug logging openstack.enable_logging(debug=True) # Initialize connection conn = openstack.connect(cloud='mordred') # List the servers for server in conn.list_servers(): print(server.to_dict()) The benefit of this layer is mostly seen in more complicated operations that take multiple steps and where the steps vary across providers. For example: .. code-block:: python import openstack # Initialize and turn on debug logging openstack.enable_logging(debug=True) # Initialize connection conn = openstack.connect(cloud='mordred') # Upload an image to the cloud image = conn.create_image( 'ubuntu-trusty', filename='ubuntu-trusty.qcow2', wait=True) # Find a flavor with at least 512M of RAM flavor = conn.get_flavor_by_ram(512) # Boot a server, wait for it to boot, and then do whatever is needed # to get a public IP address for it. conn.create_server( 'my-server', image=image, flavor=flavor, wait=True, auto_ip=True) Finally, there is the low-level *resource* layer. This provides support for the basic CRUD operations supported by REST APIs and is the base building block for the other layers. You typically will not need to use this directly: .. code-block:: python import openstack import openstack.config.loader import openstack.compute.v2.server # Initialize and turn on debug logging openstack.enable_logging(debug=True) # Initialize connection conn = openstack.connect(cloud='mordred') # List the servers for server in openstack.compute.v2.server.Server.list(session=conn.compute): print(server.to_dict()) .. _openstack.config: Configuration ------------- openstacksdk uses the ``openstack.config`` module to parse configuration. ``openstack.config`` will find cloud configuration for as few as one cloud and as many as you want to put in a config file. It will read environment variables and config files, and it also contains some vendor specific default values so that you don't have to know extra info to use OpenStack * If you have a config file, you will get the clouds listed in it * If you have environment variables, you will get a cloud named `envvars` * If you have neither, you will get a cloud named `defaults` with base defaults You can view the configuration identified by openstacksdk in your current environment by running ``openstack.config.loader``. For example: .. code-block:: bash $ python -m openstack.config.loader More information at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/latest/user/config/configuration.html Supported services ------------------ The following services are currently supported. A full list of all available OpenStack service can be found in the `Project Navigator`__. .. __: https://www.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/openstack-components#openstack-services .. note:: Support here does not guarantee full-support for all APIs. It simply means some aspect of the project is supported. .. list-table:: Supported services :widths: 15 25 10 40 :header-rows: 1 * - Service - Description - Cloud Layer - Proxy & Resource Layer * - **Compute** - - - * - Nova - Compute - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.compute``) * - **Hardware Lifecycle** - - - * - Ironic - Bare metal provisioning - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.baremetal``, ``openstack.baremetal_introspection``) * - Cyborg - Lifecycle management of accelerators - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.accelerator``) * - **Storage** - - - * - Cinder - Block storage - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.block_storage``) * - Swift - Object store - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.object_store``) * - Cinder - Shared filesystems - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.shared_file_system``) * - **Networking** - - - * - Neutron - Networking - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.network``) * - Octavia - Load balancing - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.load_balancer``) * - Designate - DNS - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.dns``) * - **Shared services** - - - * - Keystone - Identity - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.identity``) * - Placement - Placement - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.placement``) * - Glance - Image storage - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.image``) * - Barbican - Key management - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.key_manager``) * - **Workload provisioning** - - - * - Magnum - Container orchestration engine provisioning - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.container_infrastructure_management``) * - **Orchestration** - - - * - Heat - Orchestration - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.orchestration``) * - Senlin - Clustering - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.clustering``) * - Mistral - Workflow - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.workflow``) * - Zaqar - Messaging - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.message``) * - **Application lifecycle** - - - * - Masakari - Instances high availability service - ✔ - ✔ (``openstack.instance_ha``) Links ----- * `Issue Tracker `_ * `Code Review `_ * `Documentation `_ * `PyPI `_ * `Mailing list `_ * `Release Notes `_
