Creating sshKeys for gce instance using libcloud

I need help! I am trying to create sshKeys(protocol pub_key username) for gce instance using libcloud API create_node with parameter ex_metadata while creating an instance. But username value is not getting saved when I check in google cloud console after the creation of instance.

Is there any different format to send sshKeys for metadata? I am sending data like this,

metadata = {"items": [{"value": value, "key": "sshKeys"}]}

upload to google cloud storage using libcloud

I wish to to upload files to google cloud storage. I created a service account, converted the p12 file to a pem file, then referenced the service account email address and pem file in my driver:

from libcloud.storage.types import Provider
from libcloud.storage.providers import get_driver


CloudStorage = get_driver(Provider.GOOGLE_STORAGE)
driver = CloudStorage(
    '...@developer.gserviceaccount.com',
    os.path.expanduser('~/.ssh/my.pem'),
    project='my_project',
)

however, when I do

driver.list_containers()

I get

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Error><Code>InvalidSecurity</Code><Message>The provided security credentials are not valid.</Message><Details>Incorrect Authorization header</Details></Error>

Create a vm or cloud service on azure using libcloud?

I’m having a problem with libcloud/drivers/azure.py when I create a VM or a cloud service, I receive always a 400 bad request without a body. Could someone help me out of this please?

Here is my code:

# connectHandler use my pem file to create a connection with the server, return a AzureNodeDriver objet
conn = _connectHandler.api_connect(compute_ressource)
try:
    result = conn.ex_create_cloud_service(name= "testCloudServiceZT200", location= "Central US")
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(e)
else:
    return result

and here is what I got in return: <LibcloudError in <libcloud.compute.drivers.azure.AzureNodeDriver object at 0x7fceaeb457d0> 'Message: Bad Request, Body: , Status code: 400'>

Could someone please tell me why this error, and maybe give me some examples of azure.py, it will be very grateful. thx!!

python libcloud create VM inside vAPP

i am able to create a node(vAPP) in cloud using libcloud, however the API does not mention a way to create a VM inside an existing vAPP. Has anyone tried this?

http://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/compute/drivers/vcloud.html

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

import libcloud.security  

def testConnection():
    #libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT = True
    vcloud = get_driver(Provider.VCLOUD)
    driver = vcloud("user@org", "xxxxx", host='portal.local', api_version='5.1')   

    nodes = driver.list_nodes()    
    for i in nodes:
        print i      
    images = driver.list_images()    
    image = [i for i in images if i.name == "New Base VM vApp"][0]
    print image   

    locations = driver.list_locations()
    print locations

    vdcs = driver.vdcs
    vdc = [i for i in vdcs if "VDC_NAME" in i.name ][0]    
    for i in vdcs:
        if "VDC_NAME" in i.name:
            print "VDC\n"
            print i
            dev_test_vdc = i.name
            print i    
    print "creating node"
    node = driver.create_node(name="test_vAPP", image=image,  ex_vdc=dev_test_vdc, ex_clone_timeout=500)

apache-libcloud create temporary url

I would like to generate a temporary download url using cloudlib.

I understand how to create the link by manually contructing the url, but I would like to use libcloud if possible so I can easily swap out google cloud storage.

How do I test if provider credentials are valid in apache libcloud?

I was trying to create a driver for openstack using apache libcloud. It doesn't raise any error even if the user credentials are wrong. So When i checked the faq i found an answer as given in the link Apache libcloud FAQ

But it doesn't seem to be effective since querying each time to check whether the user is authenticated will reduce the performance if the query returns a bulk of data.

When i checked the response i got from the api there is a field called driver.connection.auth_user_info and i found that the field is empty if the user is not authenticated. So can i use this method as a standard? Any help is appreciated

How to list AWS EC2 regions with libcloud

Is there a way to get the list of all regions available on AWS through libcloud ?

With powershell AWS SDK I can use :

$regions = @(Get-AWSRegion)
foreach ($region in $regions)
{
$region.Region
}

How can I do the same with Python and libcloud ?

Many thanks, Johnny

How to enable gzip in apache libcloud along with google cloud storage

Hi I am using apache libcloud to upload static data to my google cloud storage.

I am using this along with django-compressor to minify my data.

End Result Expected : I want the data being uploaded on my google cloud to be gzipped or the data being served from the google cloud to be gzipped.

What is happening currently : Django compressor minifies the data. Then directly uses the apache backend to upload the data

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.apache_libcloud.LibCloudStorage'
COMPRESS_STORAGE = STATICFILES_STORAGE

I am unable to understand where exactly can I enable the gzip option. Is it a setting on the google cloud or apache liblcoud or django compressor.

Google storage apache libcloud

Django compressor

The django compressor does have an option for gzip, but has it for a custom storage of its own. compressor gzip enabled

How to use libcloud library in python

i am using libcloud api interface in python,here is my code in python , i need to list images in cloustack:

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider 
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver 
from libcloud.common.base import Response

Deploy the existing node in Libcloud

I'm working with libcloud but meet the difficulty:

I can use the method deploy_node() to deploy file/shell command to the cloud node. It work perfectly except that I have to pass the create node data inside the function. That means I cannot deploy to the existing node.

For example, now I can :

node = driver.deploy_node(name='myname', size='s1', image='i1', deployment='deployment1'...)

But what I want:

node = driver.create_node(name='myname', size='s1', image='i1')
node.deploy(deployment = 'deployment1)
OR:
driver.deploy(node, deployment = 'deployment1')

This is quite important because we can get the existing node with libcloud via list_nodes() but we cannot deploy via libcloud independently.

If anyone of you have idea with this matter, please help me.

Thank you very much!!!

Is it possible to return a specific nodes flavor?

Is it possible to return a specific nodes flavor? i am trying to capture this for a group of nodes on rackspace so it can be stored for back up and audit purposes

Instance failing to boot from disk on Google Compute Engine

I'm trying to boot an instance on GCE through libcloud.

When I boot through the libcloud function, ex_create_multiple_nodes (with 1 machine specified), the instance and the disk are created successfully, and the disk is attached. I verify this through the developer console. No exceptions are thrown by the function call.

Unfortunately, the instance never boots successfully: ... Booting from Hard Disk... Boot failed: not a bootable disk ... Full log: https://gist.github.com/danwinkler/dcf1351675eb8c744220 (This repeats again and again)

I've tested booting with the same parameters (snapshot, zone, size, etc.) through the developers console and it works fine.

A colleague pointed out that the error looks similar to those caused by virt-manager, but I don't see anything related to that in the docs or the console Link.

Thanks!
