Python bindings to the OpenStack Nova API
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
This is a client for OpenStack Nova API. There's :doc:`a Python API
|
|
<api>` (the :mod:`novaclient` module), and a :doc:`command-line script
|
|
<shell>` (installed as :program:`nova`). Each implements the entire
|
|
OpenStack Nova API.
|
|
|
|
You'll need credentials for an OpenStack cloud that implements the
|
|
Compute API, such as TryStack, HP, or Rackspace, in order to use the nova client.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You may want to read the `OpenStack Compute Developer Guide`__ -- the overview, at
|
|
least -- to get an idea of the concepts. By understanding the concepts
|
|
this library should make more sense.
