Pythonic Unified OpenStack Client Library

Each OpenStack client library like python-novaclient can handle only one OpenStack program, so we have to use multiple client libraries/commands to use OpenStack platform. Yakumo is a pythonic, unified OpenStack client library. Its basic usage is a bit similar to python-novaclient and others, but it can handle multiple programs (Nova, Swift Glance, Cinder, Neutron and Keystone now) and it’s easy to manage multiple resources on the multiple programs with it.

Yes, there is another unified OpenStack client library named ‘python-openstacksdk’. But its API style is different from python-novaclient and others. That is the reason I started Yakumo development by myself.

Basic Usage

Yakumo contains a simple sample OpenStack shell named ‘ossh’. For example,

bash$ ossh --os-cloud=packstack --verbose
>>>
Welcome to bpython! Press <F1> for help.

‘c’ is a client object defined in ossh, using credential information from environment variables. Of course, you can define another client object by yourself. See ossh source code for details.

ossh has iPython-like built-in completion capability. Type “c.”:

>>> c.
c.aggregate                    c.image                        c.server
c.availability_zone            c.key_pair                     c.server_group
c.cinder                       c.keystone                     c.service
c.cloudpipe                    c.lb                           c.subnet
c.consistency_group            c.lbaas                        c.subnet_pool
c.consistency_group_snapshot   c.network                      c.swift
c.container                    c.network_quota                c.user
c.endpoint                     c.neutron                      c.volume
c.fixed_ip                     c.nova                         c.volume_backup
c.flavor                       c.port                         c.volume_snapshot
c.floating_ip                  c.project                      c.volume_transfer
c.floating_ip_bulk             c.role                         c.volume_type
c.floating_ip_dns              c.router                       c.volume_type_qos
c.glance                       c.security_group               c.vpn
c.hypervisor                   c.security_group_default_rule

You can also use one of bpython if available. Type “c.”:

c.CATEGORY.list() returns a list of resource objects:

>>> c.image.list()
[<yakumo.glance.v2.image.Resource (id="887b0393-5065-4bcf-941d-623100baa06e", name="trusty")>]

c.CATEGORY.find(cond) returns a list of resource objects matched to cond:

>>> c.flavor.find(vcpus=1)
[<yakumo.nova.v2.flavor.Resource (id="1", name="m1.tiny")>, <yakumo.nova.v2.flavor.Resource (id="2", name="m1.small")>]

You can create a new resource:

>>> s = c.server.create(name='vm1', image=i, flavor=f, networks=[n], key_pair=k)
>>> s
<yakumo.nova.v2.server.Resource (id="b1477f6c-bbc4-4c37-ba05-14b935a5d08c" empty)>
>>>

‘s’ is an empty resource object for the new instance. “empty” means the object has only ID attribute. Other attributes will be loaded on-demand. For example, “print(s)” causes loading attributes.

>>> print(s)
<yakumo.nova.v2.server.Resource ({'status': u'BUILD', 'addresses': {u'private': [{u'OS-EXT-IPS-MAC:mac_addr': u'fa:16:3e:0a:73:d3', u'version': 4, u'addr': u'10.0.0.10', u'OS-EXT-IPS:type': u'fixed'}]}, 'access_ipv4': u'', 'created_at': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 10, 3, 24, 22, tzinfo=tzutc()), 'updated_at': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 10, 3, 24, 31, tzinfo=tzutc()), 'name': u'vm1', 'project': <yakumo.keystone.v2.project.Resource (id="68b7f45b07084546a089e75b29efae29" empty)>, 'host': <yakumo.nova.v2.host.Resource (name="packstack3" empty)>, 'key_pair': <yakumo.nova.v2.key_pair.Resource (name="key1" empty)>, 'user': <yakumo.keystone.v2.user.Resource (id="99605955005446c386a4c9bce4eaa7a1" empty)>, 'progress': 0, 'id': u'b1477f6c-bbc4-4c37-ba05-14b935a5d08c', 'access_ipv6': u''})>
>>>

Let’s confirm the keypair.

>>> s.key_pair
<yakumo.nova.v2.key_pair.Resource (name="key1" empty)>
>>>

You can update the information of ‘s’:

>>> s.reload()
>>>

Waiting server becomes active:

>>> s.wait_for_finished()
>>>

Let’s confirm status of the new instance.

>>> s.status
u'ACTIVE'
>>>

get_id() method returns its ID.

>>> s.get_id()
u'b1477f6c-bbc4-4c37-ba05-14b935a5d08c'
>>>

You can create a new resource object directly if you have its ID.

>>> s2 = c.server.get('b1477f6c-bbc4-4c37-ba05-14b935a5d08c')
>>> s2
<yakumo.nova.v2.server.Resource (id="b1477f6c-bbc4-4c37-ba05-14b935a5d08c", name="vm1")>
>>>

You can check the two objects are the same:

>>> s == s2
True
>>>

and delete one:

>>> s.delete()
>>>

How about this?

>>> for i in c.server.list(): i.delete()

CAUTION: YOUR INSTANCES WILL BE DELETED IF YOU RUN ABOVE.

Yes, that’s one of things I want to do.
