l.c.b.NodeImage(UuidMixin) : class documentation

Part of libcloud.compute.base View Source View In Hierarchy

An operating system image.

NodeImage objects are typically returned by the driver for the
cloud provider in response to the list_images function

>>> from libcloud.compute.drivers.dummy import DummyNodeDriver
>>> driver = DummyNodeDriver(0)
>>> image = driver.list_images()[0]
>>> image.name
'Ubuntu 9.10'

Apart from name and id, there is no further standard information;
other parameters are stored in a driver specific "extra" variable

When creating a node, a node image should be given as an argument
to the create_node function to decide which OS image to use.

>>> node = driver.create_node(image=image)
