python-esileapclient

Python API for interacting with ESI-Leap

Overview

This is a client for the OpenStack Lease API. It provides:

• a openstack command-line plugin: openstack lease

python-esileapclient is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, like the rest of OpenStack.

Installation

To install as a package:

# pip install python-esileapclient`

To install from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/CCI-MOC/python-esileapclient
$ cd python-esileapclient
# python setup.py install

openstack lease CLI

The openstack lease command-line interface is available when the lease plugin (included in this package) is used with the OpenStackClient

The client uses the OpenStack Identity API (Keystone) to authenticate users with an OpenStack cloud and to locate the lease service endpoint (see here for more info). Currently, overriding this endpoint is not supported. Credentials for authentication can be provided via command-line parameters (e.g. --os-username, --os-password, etc.) or by setting environment variables (e.g. OS_USERNAME, OS_PASSWORD).

Usage Examples:

openstack esi offer list

will make a GET request to ESI-Leap and print to screen a list of all the offers in the ESI-Leap database.

openstack esi offer show <uuid>

will make a GET request and print fields for offer with the given uuid.

openstack esi offer create --resource-type dummy_node --resource-uuid 1718

will make a POST request to ESI-Leap to create the offer with the given credentials. Prints to the screen the newly created offer with resource type 'dummy_node' and resource uuid '1718'.

openstack esi offer delete <uuid>

will make a DELETE request to ESI-Leap to delete the request with the given uuid. Prints to the screen whether the command was a success or not.
