Crate cloudsctl

cloudsctl

cloudsctl (pronounced “cloud skittle”) allows the user to modify their OpenStack configuration (clouds.yaml, secure.yaml and clouds-public.yaml files) with a CLI.

cloudsctl can also inject cloud variables from clouds.yaml, secure.yaml and clouds-public.yaml into the environment and run a command. This allows you to keep all your cloud configuration in one place and get rid of any Openstack RC files you might have lying around.

Quickstart

Create a profile

$ cloudsctl profile create --auth-url https://my-cloud.domain.tld:5000/v3 my-profile

This will create an OpenStack profile called my-profile in your clouds-public.yaml file.

Show a profile

$ cloudsctl profile show my-profile

This will show you the profile my-profile

List profiles

$ cloudsctl profile list

This will list all profiles in clouds-public.yaml

Delete a profile

$ cloudsctl profile delete my-profile

This will delete the profile called my-profile from clouds-public.yaml

Set profile settings

$ cloudsctl profile set --auth-url https://new-api:5000/v3 my-profile

This will change the auth-url for the profile my-profile to https://new-api:5000/v3 in clouds-public.yaml.

Run cloudsctl profile set --help to see all the settings that you can change for a profile.

Create a cloud

$ cloudsctl cloud create --username my-user --password-prompt --profile my-profile my-cloud

This will:

• create a cloud named my-cloud in clouds.yaml that uses the my-profile profile from clouds-public.yaml
• put your password in secure.yaml

Show a cloud

$ cloudsctl cloud show my-cloud

This will show you the cloud my-cloud.

List clouds

$ cloudsctl cloud list

This will list all clouds in clouds.yaml

Delete a cloud

$ cloudsctl cloud delete my-cloud

This will delete the cloud called my-cloud from clouds.yaml

Set cloud settings

$ cloudsctl cloud set --auth-url https://new-api:5000/v3 my-cloud

This will change the auth-url for the cloud my-cloud to https://new-api:5000/v3 in clouds.yaml.

Run cloudsctl cloud set --help to see all the settings that you can change for a cloud.

Copy cloud

$ cloudsctl cloud copy --username new_user source_cloud target_cloud

This will copy cloud source_cloud to target_cloud and set the user to new_user in the target_cloud.

Run cloudsctl cloud copy --help to see all the settings that you can override in the target cloud while copying from the source cloud.

Inject cloud variables from configuration files into environment and run command.

$ cloudsctl cloud create --username my-user --password-prompt --project-name my-project --profile my-profile my-cloud
Password:
$ cloudsctl env my-cloud bash
$ env|grep OS_
OS_AUTH_URL=https://my-cloud.domain.tld:5000/v3
OS_VERIFY=false
OS_TENANT_NAME=my-project
OS_USERNAME=my-user
OS_PROJECT_NAME=my-project
OS_PASSWORD=foo

bash is the default command and could have been omitted in the command above.

I like to keep an alias called oscloud like this:

$ alias oscloud='cloudsctl env'
$ oscloud my-cloud
$ openstack server list
etc...

Shell completion

Thanks to clap, cloudsctl supports shell completion for bash, zsh, fish and elvish.

$ cloudsctl completion bash

A completion file will be generated in the current directory.
