warthog 0.10.0

Simple client for A10 load balancers

WARNING - This is beta software and subject to breaking changes and/or bugs.

Warthog is a simple Python client for interacting with A10 load balancers. The target use case is for safely removing servers from pools in a load balancer during a deployment. It is available under the MIT license.

Features

• Waiting for servers to finish all requests when being disabled

• Graceful handling of transient errors with optional retry logic

• Support for interacting with the load balancer API using SSL

• Works with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4+

• Thread safety

Installation

To install Warthog, simply run:

$ pip install warthog

Dependencies

• requests by Kenneth Reitz, version 2.6 or higher

• click by Armin Ronacher, version 3.3 or higher

Usage

Using the client is easy!

from warthog.api import WarthogClient

def install_my_project(server):
    pass

client = WarthogClient('https://lb.example.com', 'user', 'password')

client.disable_server('app1.example.com')
install_my_project('app1.example.com')
client.enable_server('app1.example.com')
