Automatic Heat template generation

Project description

OpenStack Orchestration project Heat implements an orchestration engine to launch multiple composite cloud applications based on templates. A Heat template describes infrastructure resources (servers, networks, floating ips, etc) and the relationships between these resources, allowing Heat to deploy the resources in a correct order and to manage whole infrastructure lifecycle.

flame is a standalone tool that generates HOT Heat template from already existing infrastructure. It provides support for Nova (key pairs and servers), Cinder (volumes) and Neutron (router, networks, subnets, security groups and floating IPs) resources.

flame works as follows: using provided credentials (user name, project name, password or auth_token, authentication url), the tool will list supported resources deployed in the project and will generate corresponding, highly customized HOT template.

Installation

First of all, clone the repository and go to the repository directory:

git clone https://github.com/openstack/flame.git cd flame

Then just run:

python setup.py install

Usage example

To use Flame you can provide yours OpenStack credentials as arguments

$ flame --os-username 'user_name' \
        --os-password 'password' \
        --os-project-name 'project_name' \
        --os-auth-url 'http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0'

Or you can source your OpenStack RC file and use Flame without arguments.

To establish a two-way SSL connection with the identity service

$flame --os-username 'user_name' \
       --os-password 'password' \
       --os-project-name 'project_name' \
       --os-auth_url http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0 \
       --os-cert <path/to/certificate>  \
       --os-key <path/to/key>

Flame can be used with either a login and password pair or a keystone token by exporting the OS_AUTH_TOKEN variable and the –os-auth-type ‘token’ parameter (the token is obtained with keystone token-get ):

$ flame --os-auth-type 'token' \
        --os-token 'token_id' \
        --os-auth-url 'http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0'
