Skytap REST API wrapper
Skytap is a set of modules that we use to manage aspects of our Skytap infrastructure.
Usage
To use the module, you’ll need to create at least two environment variables:
SKYTAP_USER=kermit.frog@sesamestreet.net SKYTAP_TOKEN=79824879aeb2b34534e112d23a3c
Optionally, you can also add:
SKYTAP_LOG_LEVEL=20
This can be a number between 0-50 and corresponds to the logging module from Python:
DEBUG: 0
INFO: 10
WARNING: 20
ERROR: 30
CRITICAL: 50
An easy way to set these variables is to create a .skytap file in your home directory (~/.skytap) with the variables in there:
export SKYTAP_USER=kermit.frog@sesamestreet.net export SKYTAP_TOKEN=79824879aeb2b34534e112d23a3c
Then you can source the file:
source ~/.skytap
to load the variables, or add that same source command to your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent file to have it done automatically.
Via the command line
Most modules can be accessed directly from the command line to get simple information. This functionally returns the JSON from the Skytap API:
python -m skytap.Environments python -m skytap.Users
You’ll get back a JSON for the request, something like:
[
{
"id": "12345",
"url": "https://cloud.skytap.com/users/12345",
"login_name": "kermit.frog@sesamestreet.net",
"first_name": "Kermit",
"last_name": "The Frog",
"title": "Master of Ceremonies",
"email": "kermit.frog@sesamestreet.net",
"created_at": "2012-01-02T12:43:05-08:00",
"deleted": false
}
]
If you only want a one item returned instead of the full list, you can get that from the command line as well:
python -m skytap.Environments 12345 python -m skytap.Quotas svm_hours
Via Python script
To use this, simply import it:
import skytap
Then you can access the resource groups of interest.
A simple example:
import skytap
users = skytap.Users()
for u in users:
print(u.name + ' : ' + u.email)
This can also help automate running and suspending VMs:
import skytap envs = skytap.Environments() envs[123456].suspend() # or .suspend(True) if you want the script to wait.
Doing this will, by default, add a note to the environment of it’s action, so someone checking the environment can see why it’s not running.
