libcloud.base.NodeDriver : API documentation

def __init__(self, key, secret=None, secure=True, host=None, port=None): (source)

overridden in libcloud.drivers.dummy.DummyNodeDriver, libcloud.drivers.ec2.EucNodeDriver, libcloud.drivers.linode.LinodeNodeDriver, libcloud.drivers.rimuhosting.RimuHostingNodeDriver, libcloud.drivers.softlayer.SoftLayerNodeDriver

Parameters	key	API key or username to used (type: str)
	secret	Secret password to be used (type: str)
	secure	Weither to use HTTPS or HTTP. Note: Some providers only support HTTPS, and it is on by default. (type: bool)
	host	Override hostname used for connections. (type: str)
	port	Override port used for connections. (type: int)

def create_node(self, **kwargs): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

Create a new node instance.

Parameters	name	String with a name for this new node (required) (type: str)
	size	The size of resources allocated to this node. (required) (type: `NodeSize`)
	image	OS Image to boot on node. (required) (type: `NodeImage`)
	location	Which data center to create a node in. If empty, undefined behavoir will be selected. (optional) (type: `NodeLocation`)
	auth	Initial authentication information for the node (optional) (type: `NodeAuthSSHKey` or `NodeAuthPassword`)
Returns	The newly created `Node`.

def destroy_node(self, node): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

Destroy a node.

Depending upon the provider, this may destroy all data associated with the node, including backups.

Returns bool True if the destroy was successful, otherwise False

def reboot_node(self, node): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

Reboot a node.

Returns bool True if the reboot was successful, otherwise False

def list_nodes(self): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

List all nodes

Returns list of Node objects

def list_images(self, location=None): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

List images on a provider

Returns list of NodeImage objects

def list_sizes(self, location=None): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

List sizes on a provider

Returns list of NodeSize objects

def list_locations(self): (source)

from libcloud.interface.INodeDriver

List data centers for a provider

Returns list of NodeLocation objects

def deploy_node(self, **kwargs): (source)

Create a new node, and start deployment.

Depends on a Provider Driver supporting either using a specific password or returning a generated password.

This function may raise a DeplyomentException, if a create_node call was successful, but there is a later error (like SSH failing or timing out). This exception includes a Node object which you may want to destroy if incomplete deployments are not desirable.

Parameters

deploy

Deployment to run once machine is online and availble to SSH. (type: Deployment

See NodeDriver.create_node for more keyword args.
