======================= The Tricircle Admin API ======================= This Admin API documentation describes the ways of interacting with the Tricircle service via HTTP protocol using Representational State Transfer(ReST). API Versions ============ In order to bring new features to users over time, versioning is supported by the Tricircle. The latest version of the Tricircle is v1.0. The Version APIs work the same as other APIs as they still require authentication. +------------------+----------------+-----+-----------------------------------------------+ |**GET** |/ | |List All Major versions | | | | | | |**GET** |/{api_version} | |Show Details of Specific API Version | +------------------+----------------+-----+-----------------------------------------------+ Service URLs ============ All API calls through the rest of this document require authentication with the OpenStack Identity service. They also require a base service url that can be got from the OpenStack Tricircle endpoint. This will be the root url that every call below will be added to build a full path. For instance, if the Tricircle service url is http://127.0.0.1/tricircle/v1.0 then the full API call for /pods is http://127.0.0.1/tricircle/v1.0/pods. As such, for the rest of this document we will leave out the root url where GET /pods really means GET {tricircle_service_url}/pods. Pod === A pod represents a region in Keystone. When operating a pod, the Tricircle decides the correct endpoints to send request based on the region of the pod. Considering the architecture of the Tricircle, we have two kinds of pods: pod for central Neutron and pod for local Neutron. +------------------+---------+-----------------------------------+------------------------+ |**GET** |/pods | |Retrieve Pod List | +------------------+---------+-----------------------------------+------------------------+ This fetches all the pods, including pod for central Neutron and pod(s) for local Neutron.

But we can list all the pods to verify whether the specific pod has been deleted or not. Resource Routing ================ The Tricircle is responsible for resource(for example, network, subnet, port, router, etc) creation both in local Neutron and central Neutron. In order to dispatch resource operation request to the proper local Neutron, we need a resource routing table, which maps a resource from the central Neutron to local Neutron where it's located. When user issues a resource update, query or delete request, central Neutron will capture this request and extract resource id from the request, then dispatch the request to target local Neutron on the basis of the routing table. +------------------+-------------+--------------------+---------------------------------+ |**GET** |/routings | |Retrieve All Resource Routings | +------------------+-------------+--------------------+---------------------------------+ This fetches all the resource routing entries by default, but we can apply filter(s) on the returned values to only show the specific routing entries. Accordingly the filtering condition(s) will be added to the tail of the service url separated by question mark. For example, the default service url is GET /routings, when filtering is applied, the service url becomes GET /routings?attribute=attribute_value. One or multiple conditions are supported. Normal Response Code: 200 **Response** The resource routing set contains a list of resource routing entries whose attributes are described in the following table. +-------------+-------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |Name |In | Type | Description | +=============+=======+===============+=====================================================+ |id |body | biginteger |id is the unique identification of the resource | | | | |routing. | +-------------+-------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |top_id |body | string |top_id denotes the resource id on central Neutron. | +-------------+-------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |bottom_id |body | string |bottom_id denotes the resource id on local Neutron. | +-------------+-------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |pod_id |body | string |pod_id is the uuid of one pod(i.e., one region). | +-------------+-------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |project_id |body | string |project_id is the uuid of a project object in | | | | |KeyStone.
