salt.modules.nova

Module for handling OpenStack Nova calls

depends:
  • novaclient Python module
configuration:

This module is not usable until the user, password, tenant, and auth URL are specified either in a pillar or in the minion's config file. For example:

keystone.user: admin
keystone.password: verybadpass
keystone.tenant: admin
keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'
# Optional
keystone.region_name: 'regionOne'

If configuration for multiple OpenStack accounts is required, they can be set up as different configuration profiles: For example:

openstack1:
  keystone.user: admin
  keystone.password: verybadpass
  keystone.tenant: admin
  keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'

openstack2:
  keystone.user: admin
  keystone.password: verybadpass
  keystone.tenant: admin
  keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.2:5000/v2.0/'

With this configuration in place, any of the nova functions can make use of a configuration profile by declaring it explicitly. For example:

salt '*' nova.flavor_list profile=openstack1
salt.modules.nova.boot(name, flavor_id=0, image_id=0, profile=None, timeout=300)

Boot (create) a new instance

name
Name of the new instance (must be first)
flavor_id
Unique integer ID for the flavor
image_id
Unique integer ID for the image
timeout

How long to wait, after creating the instance, for the provider to return information about it (default 300 seconds).

New in version 2014.1.0.

CLI Example:

salt '*' nova.boot myinstance flavor_id=4596 image_id=2

The flavor_id and image_id are obtained from nova.flavor_list and nova.image_list

salt '*' nova.flavor_list
salt '*' nova.image_list
salt.modules.nova.delete(instance_id, profile=None)

Delete an instance

instance_id
ID of the instance to be deleted

CLI Example:

salt '*' nova.delete 1138
salt.modules.nova.flavor_create(name, flavor_id=0, ram=0, disk=0, vcpus=1, profile=None)

vcpus

CLI Example:

salt '*' nova.flavor_create myflavor flavor_id=6                 ram=4096 disk=10 vcpus=1
salt.modules.nova.flavor_delete(flavor_id, profile=None)

salt '*' nova.flavor_delete 7
salt.modules.nova.flavor_list(profile=None)

Return a list of available flavors (nova flavor-list)

CLI Example:

salt '*' nova.flavor_list

salt.modules.nova.image_meta_delete(image_id=None, name=None, keys=None, profile=None)

Delete a key=value pair from the metadata for an image (nova image-meta set)

CLI Examples:

salt '*' nova.image_meta_delete                 6f52b2ff-0b31-4d84-8fd1-af45b84824f6 keys=cheese
salt '*' nova.image_meta_delete name=myimage keys=salad,beans
salt.modules.nova.image_meta_set(image_id=None, name=None, profile=None, **kwargs)

Sets a key=value pair in the metadata for an image (nova image-meta set)

CLI Examples:

salt '*' nova.image_meta_set 6f52b2ff-0b31-4d84-8fd1-af45b84824f6                 cheese=gruyere
salt '*' nova.image_meta_set name=myimage salad=pasta beans=baked
salt.modules.nova.keypair_add(name, pubfile=None, pubkey=None, profile=None)

Add a keypair to nova (nova keypair-add)

CLI Examples:

salt '*' nova.keypair_add mykey pubfile='/home/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'
salt '*' nova.keypair_add mykey pubkey='ssh-rsa <key> myuser@mybox'
salt.modules.nova.keypair_delete(name, profile=None)

Add a keypair to nova (nova keypair-delete)

CLI Example:

salt '*' nova.keypair_delete mykey'
salt.modules.nova.keypair_list(profile=None)

Return a list of available keypairs (nova keypair-list)

CLI Example:

salt '*' nova.keypair_list
salt.modules.nova.list(profile=None)

To maintain the feel of the nova command line, this function simply calls the server_list function.
