Connect
In order to work with an OpenStack cloud you first need to create a
~openstack.connection.Connection to it using your
credentials. A ~openstack.connection.Connection can be created in 3
ways, using the class itself, config-clouds-yaml, or config-environment-variables. It is recommended to
always use config-clouds-yaml as the same config can be used
across tools and languages.
Create Connection
To create a ~openstack.connection.Connection instance, use the
~openstack.connect
factory function.
../examples/connect.py
Full example at connect.py
Note
To enable logging, see the logging user guide.
Next
Now that you can create a connection, continue with the user_guides to work with an
OpenStack service.
As an alternative to creating a ~openstack.connection.Connection using
:ref:config-clouds-yaml, you can connect using config-environment-variables.
