The :mod:`cinderclient` Python API
==================================
.. module:: cinderclient
:synopsis: A client for the OpenStack Cinder API.
.. currentmodule:: cinderclient
Usage
-----
First create an instance of :class:`OpenStack` with your credentials::
>>> from cinderclient import OpenStack
>>> cinder = OpenStack(USERNAME, PASSWORD, AUTH_URL)
Then call methods on the :class:`OpenStack` object:
.. class:: OpenStack
.. attribute:: backup_schedules
A :class:`BackupScheduleManager` -- manage automatic backup images.
.. attribute:: flavors
A :class:`FlavorManager` -- query available "flavors" (hardware
configurations).
.. attribute:: images
An :class:`ImageManager` -- query and create server disk images.
.. attribute:: ipgroups
A :class:`IPGroupManager` -- manage shared public IP addresses.
.. attribute:: servers
A :class:`ServerManager` -- start, stop, and manage virtual machines.
.. automethod:: authenticate
For example::
>>> cinder.servers.list()
[<Server: buildslave-ubuntu-9.10>]
>>> cinder.flavors.list()
[<Flavor: 256 server>,
<Flavor: 512 server>,
<Flavor: 1GB server>,
<Flavor: 2GB server>,
<Flavor: 4GB server>,
<Flavor: 8GB server>,
<Flavor: 15.5GB server>]
>>> fl = cinder.flavors.find(ram=512)
>>> cinder.servers.create("my-server", flavor=fl)
<Server: my-server>
