def get_uuid(self): (source)

overridden in libcloud.compute.drivers.gogrid.GoGridNode

Unique hash for a node, node image, or node size

Returns

string

The hash is a function of an SHA1 hash of the node, node image, or node size's ID and its driver which means that it should be unique between all objects of its type. In some subclasses (e.g. GoGridNode) there is no ID available so the public IP address is used. This means that, unlike a properly done system UUID, the same UUID may mean a different system install at a different time

>>> from libcloud.compute.drivers.dummy import DummyNodeDriver
>>> driver = DummyNodeDriver(0)
>>> node = driver.create_node()
>>> node.get_uuid()
'd3748461511d8b9b0e0bfa0d4d3383a619a2bb9f'

Note, for example, that this example will always produce the same UUID!
