Cloudmesh Virtualbox/Vagrant Interface
Virtualbox provides a vonvenient way to manage virtual machines on a local computer. Graphical user interfaces, a commandline client, but also vagrant exist to access them. However we noticed that we often only need a very small subset to start a vm and to tear it down. Remembering the interfaces is difficult. Previously we developed a cloudmesh_client that has an easy to remember interface. We leverage from this experience and introduce a very easy to remember commandline client. At the same time we also allow a simpl python API to manage virtual machines on virtualbox. We use vagrant internally. However vagrants focus on directories and Vagrantfiles in a bit inconvenient also fo us, so we provided wrappers and utelize the design of vagrant to our advantage while only exposing the needed functionality.

Examples
Listing vms
List the vms:
cm-vbox vm list
name |
state |
id |
provider |
directory |
w12 w1 |
running running |
47347b4 db913dd |
virtualbox virtualbox |
~/w12 ~/w1 |
Listing images
List the images:
cm-vbox image list
name |
provider |
date |
ubuntu/trusty64 |
virtualbox |
20160406.0.0 |
Booting vms
Start a vm while taking an ubuntu image as default:
cm-vbox vm boot w12
Login
To login into a vm you can use the ssh command followed by the VM:
cm-vbox vm ssh w12
where w12 is the name of the vm.
Executing a command
To just execute a command, use:
cm-vbox vm ssh w12 -e uname
Destroy a vm
Deletes the specified vm:
cm-vbox vm delete w12
Create a Vagrantfile
Creates a Vagrantfile in ./w12/Vagrantfile:
cm-vbox create w12
Destroy the directory of the vm
Assume you like to destroy also the directory with all information about the previously run vm you can simple delete it with rm:
cm-vbox vm delete w12 rm -r w12
Please not that wen you delet the directory the list command will automatically remove it from the available vms. Hoewver before you delete it is advisable to destroy the vm so you do not have the vm any longer running.
