OpenStackClient
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that
|
|
brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Volume
|
|
APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.

Getting Started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
* Try :doc:`some commands <command-list>`
|
|
* Read the source `on OpenStack's Git server`_
|
|
* Install OpenStackClient from `PyPi`_ or a `tarball`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
Project Goals
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Use the OpenStack Python API libraries, extending or replacing them as required
|
|
* Use a consistent naming and structure for commands and arguments
|
|
* Provide consistent output formats with optional machine parseable formats
|
|
* Use a single-binary approach that also contains an embedded shell that can execute
|
|
multiple commands on a single authentication (see libvirt's virsh for an example)
|
|
* Independence from the OpenStack project names; only API names are referenced (to
|
|
the extent possible)

============
|
|
|
|
OpenStackClient utilizes all of the usual OpenStack processes and requirements for
|
|
contributions. The code is hosted `on OpenStack's Git server`_. `Bug reports`_
|
|
and `blueprints`_ may be submitted to the :code:`python-openstackclient` project
|
|
on `Launchpad`_. Code may be submitted to the
|
|
:code:`openstack/python-openstackclient` project using `Gerrit`_.
|
|
Developers may also be found in the `IRC channel`_ ``#openstack-sdks``.
