VDI client
Client tools for the virtual data infrastructure.
The vdi command-line tool intercepts file-system calls made by a program,
logs them, and transparently downloads files from a VDI server via URL when
needed. This lets you run scientific workloads against remote data without
manually staging files. Accesses are tracked and served on demand.
Installation
pip install vdi-client
Usage
The vdi CLI provides three subcommands:
vdi run: run a program with VDI extensions (file-system interception, logging, transparent URL download).vdi view: create, list, delete, upload to, and download from views on a VDI server.vdi log: list, show, and clean up VDI log files.
Examples
Run a program with VDI extensions:
vdi run python my_script.py
List views on a VDI server:
vdi view --base-url https://vdi.example.org list
Show the contents of a log file:
vdi log show --pid 12345
Run vdi -h for the full usage overview.
