✨ OPTIONS 'resalloc-ibm-cloud-vm create' ✨

  • --playbook PLAYBOOK — Path to playbook 📖 (she needs to know where the playbook lives)
  • --image-uuid IMAGE_UUID — UUID of the image to use 🖼️
  • --vpc-id VPC_ID — the VPC id, that's it, that's the whole description 🫧
  • --security-group-id SECURITY_GROUP_ID — the security group id, also vibes only ✨
  • --ssh-key-id SSH_KEY_ID — ssh key id, so you can actually get in 🔑
  • --instance-type INSTANCE_TYPE — e.g. cz2-2x4 👑
  • --floating-ip-name FLOATING_IP_NAME — floating IP by name, if that's the route you're taking 🎈
  • --floating-ip-uuid FLOATING_IP_UUID — floating IP by UUID instead, pick your fighter 🎈
  • --no-floating-ip — Don't use floating IPs (for VPN) 🙈
  • --floating-ip-uuid-in-subnet SUBNET-ID FLOATING-IP-UUID — Add a Floating IP UUID into the list of IPs that can be used for the corresponding subnet ID. Depending on the $RESALLOC_ID_IN_POOL (given by Resalloc server) the script assigns the newly started machine n-th IP from the list. 🧠✨
  • --subnets-ids SUBNETS_IDS [SUBNETS_IDS ...] — Space separated list of ZONE:SUBNET_ID pairs. The ZONE must be a valid ZONE ID within the specified --region (e.g., 'eu-es-2' within 'eu-es' region). 🌍

  • --resource-group-id RESOURCE_GROUP_ID — Resource group id, get it from $ ibmcloud resources 🔍

💜 COMMAND 'resalloc-ibm-cloud-vm delete' 💜

short and iconic, honestly:

usage: resalloc-ibm-cloud-vm delete [-h] name
  • name — the instance name to yeet 🗑️

🌈 COMMAND 'resalloc-ibm-cloud-vm delete-free-floating-ips' 🌈

the cleanup queen, no arguments, no notes:

usage: resalloc-ibm-cloud-vm delete-free-floating-ips [-h]

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

these ones are top-level, they apply to the whole resalloc-ibm-cloud-vm situation 💖

  • --token-file TOKEN_FILE — Path to IBM cloud token file 🔐
  • --log-level LOG_LEVEL — log level, that's the description, she keeps it mysterious 🙈
  • --zone REGION — default IBM Cloud zone. e.g. jp-tok, us-east, us-west, ... 🌎
  • --region REGION — default IBM Cloud zone. e.g. jp-tok, us-east, us-west, ... 🌍
bestie don't panic — --zone and --region genuinely do have the same description in the original. not a typo on my part, I promise 🫶
