In Newton we deprecated the various network-related resource commands which were either for nova-network or were proxy APIs to Neutron, because of the 2.36 microversion which deprecated those APIs. This removes the deprecated commands. Because of the size of this change, the deprecated python API binding removals will come in a separate change.

Python bindings to the OpenStack Nova API
This is a client for the OpenStack Nova API. There's a Python API
(the novaclient
module), and a command-line script
(nova
). Each implements 100% of the OpenStack Nova API.
See the OpenStack CLI
guide for information on how to use the nova
command-line tool. You may also want to look at the OpenStack
API documentation.

Command-line API
Installing this package gets you a shell command, nova
,
that you can use to interact with any OpenStack cloud.
You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can
do this with the --os-username
, --os-password
and --os-project-name
params, but it's easier to just set
them as environment variables:
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
You will also need to define the authentication url with
--os-auth-url
and the version of the API with
--os-compute-api-version
. Or set them as environment
variables as well and set the OS_AUTH_URL to the keystone endpoint:
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://<url-to-openstack-keystone>:5000/v3/
export OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION=2.1
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog,
you can specify the one you want with --os-region-name
(or
export OS_REGION_NAME
). It defaults to the first in the
list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
nova help
Python API
There's also a complete Python API, with documentation linked below.
To use with keystone as the authentication system:
>>> from keystoneauth1.identity import v3
>>> from keystoneauth1 import session
>>> from novaclient import client
>>> auth = v3.Password(auth_url='http://example.com:5000/v3',
... username='username',
... password='password',
... project_name='project-name',
... user_domain_id='default',
... project_domain_id='default')
>>> sess = session.Session(auth=auth)
>>> nova = client.Client("2.1", session=sess)
>>> nova.flavors.list()
[...]
>>> nova.servers.list()
[...]
>>> nova.keypairs.list()
[...]
Testing
There are multiple test targets that can be run to validate the code.
- tox -e pep8 - style guidelines enforcement
- tox -e py27 - traditional unit testing
- tox -e functional - live functional testing against an existing openstack
Functional testing assumes the existence of a clouds.yaml file as supported by os-client-config (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config) It assumes the existence of a cloud named devstack that behaves like a normal devstack installation with a demo and an admin user/tenant - or clouds named functional_admin and functional_nonadmin.
