Command-line client overview
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
OpenStackClient project provides a unified command-line client, which
|
|
enables you to access the project API through easy-to-use commands.
|
|
Also, most OpenStack project provides a command-line client for each service.
|
|
For example, the Compute service provides a ``nova`` command-line client.
|
|
|
|
You can run the commands from the command line, or include the
|
|
commands within scripts to automate tasks. If you provide OpenStack
|
|
credentials, such as your user name and password, you can run these
|
|
commands on any computer.
|
|
|
|
Internally, each command uses cURL command-line tools, which embed API
|
|
requests. OpenStack APIs are RESTful APIs, and use the HTTP
|
|
protocol. They include methods, URIs, media types, and response codes.
|
|
|
|
OpenStack APIs are open-source Python clients, and can run on Linux or
|
|
Mac OS X systems. On some client commands, you can specify a debug
|
|
parameter to show the underlying API request for the command. This is
|
|
a good way to become familiar with the OpenStack API calls.
|
|
|
|
As a cloud end user, you can use the OpenStack Dashboard to provision
|
|
your own resources within the limits set by administrators. You can
|
|
modify the examples provided in this section to create other types and
|
|
sizes of server instances.
|
|
|
|
Unified command-line client
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can use the unified ``openstack`` command (**python-openstackclient**)
|
|
for the most of OpenStack services.
|
|
For more information, see `OpenStackClient document
|
|
<https://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Individual command-line clients
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Unless the unified OpenStack Client (**python-openstackclient**) is used,
|
|
the following table lists the command-line client for each OpenStack
|
|
service with its package name and description.
