Stop suggesting people use the nova command line client

openrc files and the nova tool are relics of history. We should not be
suggesting them. We certainly shouldn't be using the word "tenant"
anymore.

If you're using a nova provider, it's usually helpful to set up an
environment variable list you can include into your shell so you don't
have to feed a bunch of additional options on the nova client command
line. A provider settings file for Rackspace would look something like::
If you're using an OpenStack provider, it's usually helpful to set up a
`clouds.yaml` file. More information on `clouds.yaml` files can be found in the
`os-client-config documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config/#config-files`_.
A `clouds.yaml` file for Rackspace would look something like::
export OS_USERNAME=<provider_username>
export OS_PASSWORD='<provider_password>'
export OS_TENANT_NAME=<provider_tenant>
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/
export OS_REGION_NAME=DFW
export FLAVOR='8GB Standard Instance'
clouds:
rackspace:
auth:
profile: rackspace
username: '<provider_username>'
password: '<provider_password>'
project_name: '<provider_project_name>'
Where provider_username and provider_password are the user / password
for a valid user in your account, and provider_tenant is the numeric
id of your account (typically 6 digits).
for a valid user in your account, and provider_project_name is the project_name
you want to use (sometimes called 'tenant name' on older clouds)
Note: The image regularly changes as new images are uploaded, for the
specific image name currently used for tests, see
`nodepool.yaml <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/
project-config/tree/nodepool/nodepool.yaml>`_.
You can then use the `openstack` command line client (found in the python
package
`python-openstackclient <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-openstackclient>`_)
to create a VM on the cloud.
Source the provider settings, upload your image, boot a server named
"testserver" (chosen arbitrarily for this example) with your SSH key allowed,
and log into it::
You can tell `openstack` to use the `DFW` region
of the `rackspace` cloud you defined either by setting environment variables::
. provider_settings.sh
export OS_CLOUD=rackspace
export OS_REGION_NAME=DFW
openstack servers list
or command line options:
openstack --os-cloud=rackspace --os-region-name=DFW servers list
It will be assumed in remaining examples that environment varialbes have been
set.
If you haven't already, create an SSH keypair "my-keypair" (name it whatever
you like)::
openstack keypair create --public-key=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub my-keypair
Upload your image, boot a server named "testserver" (chosen arbitrarily for
this example) with your SSH key allowed, and log into it::
FLAVOR='8GB Standard Instance'
openstack image create --file devstack-gate.qcow2 devstack-gate
nova boot --poll --flavor "$FLAVOR" --image "devstack-gate" \
--file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub testserver
nova ssh testserver
openstack server create --wait --flavor "$FLAVOR" --image "devstack-gate" \
--key-name=my-keypair testserver
openstack server ssh testserver
If you get a cryptic error like ``ERROR: 'public'`` then you may need to
manually look up the IP address with ``nova list --name testserver`` and
manually look up the IP address with ``openstack server show testserver`` and
connect by running ``ssh root@<ip_address>`` instead. Once logged in, switch to
the jenkins user and set up parts of the environment expected by devstack-gate
testing::

After the script completes, investigate any failures. Then log out and

proper testing you'll want to validate your fixes on a completely fresh
one.
