Upgrading from 0.5.x
Changes
- SSL certificate verification is now enabled by default and an exception is thrown if CA certificate files cannot be found.
To revert to the old behavior, set libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT_STRICT variable to False:
libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT_STRICT=False
Note: You are strongly discouraged from disabling SSL certificate validation. If you disable it and no CA certificates files are found on the system you are vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack
Wiki page which describes how to install CA certificates on different operating systems can be found at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/LibcloudSSL.
- OpenStack driver now defaults to using OpenStack 1.1 API.
To preserve the old behavior and use OpenStack 1.0 API, pass
api_version='1.0' keyword argument to the driver constructor.
For example:
Cls = get_provider(Provider.OPENSTACK) driver = Cls('user_name', 'api_key', False, 'host', 8774, api_version='1.0')
- OpenNebula driver now defaults to using OpenNebula 3.0 API
To preserve the old behavior and use OpenNebula 1.4 API, pass
api_version='1.4' keyword argument to the driver constructor.
For example:
Cls = get_provider(Provider.OPENNEBULA) driver = Cls('key', 'secret', api_version='1.4')
