Module providing IBM Fail over functions

# IBM Cloud Fail Over Functions


## Overview

IBM Cloud Fail Over is a Python module designed to automate failover processes for applications hosted on IBM Cloud. This module provides essential functions to manage failover scenarios effectively, ensuring high availability and reliability.

## Features

- **Automated Failover**: Seamlessly switch to backup resources when primary resources are unavailable.
- **Resource Management**: Manage critical resources like Virtual IPs and Floating IPs with ease.

## Installation

You can install the IBM Cloud Fail Over module using pip. Run the following command:

```bash
pip install ibm_cloud_fail_over

Usage

Main Functions

fail_over_cr_vip

This function manages the failover of a Cloud Resource Virtual IP (CR VIP).

Usage:

from ibm_cloud_fail_over import fail_over_cr_vip

# Example usage
active_ip = fail_over_cr_vip(vpc_url='IBM Cloud VPC regional URL",
                           primary_vip='your_primary_vip',
                           secondary_vip='your_secondary_vip',
                           api_key="Optional: API key" )
print(active_ip)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
vpc_url	str	IBM Cloud VPC regional URL.
primary_vip	str	The primary Virtual IP to monitor.
secondary_vip	str	The secondary Virtual IP to switch to.
api_key	str	Optional needed only if you are not using trusted profile, IBM cloud api acsess key

Returns:

• The Active ip post failover operation.

fail_over_floating_ip_start

This function manages the failover of a Floating IP Attach to the caller Endpoint (VSI/BM)

Usage:

from ibm_cloud_fail_over import fail_over_floating_ip_start

# Example usage
result = fail_over_floating_ip_start(vpc_url='IBM Cloud VPC regional URL",
                                master_vni_id="Virtual network inetface uuid for new active",
                                passive_vni_id="Virtual network inetface uuid for new passive" ,
                                fip_id="the floating ip uuid",
                                api_key="Optional: API key" ))
print(result)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
vpc_url	str(url)	IBM Cloud VPC regional URL.
master_vni_id	str(uuid)	Virtual network inetface uuid for new active.
passive_vni_id	str(uuid)	Virtual network inetface uuid for new active.
fip_id	str(uuid)	Floating IP uuid to move.
api_key	str	Optional needed only if you are not using trusted profile, IBM cloud api acsess key
Returns:

• A confirmation message indicating the success or failure of the failover operation.

fail_over_floating_ip_stop

This function manages the failover of a Floating IP Detach to the caller Endpoint (VSI/BM)

Usage:

from ibm_cloud_fail_over import fail_over_floating_ip_stop

# Example usage
result = fail_over_floating_ip_stop(vpc_url='IBM Cloud VPC regional URL",
                                master_vni_id="Virtual network inetface uuid for new active",
                                passive_vni_id="Virtual network inetface uuid for new passive" ,
                                fip_id="the floating ip uuid",
                                api_key="Optional: API key" ))
print(result)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
vpc_url	str(url)	IBM Cloud VPC regional URL.
master_vni_id	str(uuid)	Virtual network inetface uuid for new active.
passive_vni_id	str(uuid)	Virtual network inetface uuid for new active.
fip_id	str(uuid)	Floating IP uuid to move.
api_key	str	Optional needed only if you are not using trusted profile, IBM cloud api acsess key
Returns:

• A confirmation message indicating the success or failure of the failover operation.

fail_over_get_attached_fip

This function manages the failover of a Floating IP Detach to the caller Endpoint (VSI/BM)

Usage:

from ibm_cloud_fail_over import fail_over_get_attached_fip

# Example usage
attached_fip_id, attached_fip_ip = fail_over_get_attached_fip()

print(attached_fip_ip)
print(attached_fip_id)

Parameters: None

Returns: attached_fip_id, attached_fip_ip

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the module, consider the following:

• Invalid IP Addresses: Ensure that the IP addresses provided for primary and secondary resources are valid and reachable.
• Network Issues: Check your network connectivity to the IBM Cloud resources.
• Permissions: Ensure that your IBM Cloud account has the necessary permissions to manage the specified resources.
• Required dependencies: Enable Instance Metada Service on Both Enpoints
• Optional dependencies: Enable Trusted profile to avoid using and api access key
