The Novaclient Python API

ThenovaclientPython API
Usage

First create a client instance with your credentials:

Clientclient(VERSIONUSERNAMEPASSWORDproject_idauth_url) 

Here VERSION can is: 1.1, 2 and 3.

Alternatively, you can create a client instance using the Keystoneclient session API:

>>>FromKeystoneclient.auth.identityImportV2>>>FromKeystoneclientImportSession>>>FromNovaclient.clientImportClient>>>Auth=V2password (auth_url=AUTH_URL< Span class= "p" >, Username=username, Password=password, Tenant_ name=project_id) >>> sess = sessionsession (auth=auth ) >>> nova = clientclient (versionsession =sess)           

For more information on the keystoneclient API, see Using Sessions.

Then call methods on the ITS managers:

>>>Nova.Servers.List()[<server:buildslave-ubuntu-9.10>]>>>Nova.Flavors.List()[<flavor:256 Server><flavor:512 Server>&LT;FLAVOR:1GB Server><FLAVOR:2GB server>, <flavor:4gb server>, <FLAVOR:8GB server>, <FLAVOR:15.5GB server ]>>> fl = Nova.  Flavors.  Find(ram=MB)>>> Nova.  Servers.  Create("My-server", flavor=fl)<Server:my-server>
