🌸 NAME 🌸

resalloc-openstack-new — atomically allocate a VM with additional resources in openstack. That's the whole name, bestie: one atomic VM-plus-extras moment. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Run it like this, queen:

resalloc-openstack-new [-h] [--name NAME] --image IMAGE [--floating-ip-from FLOATING_IP_NETWORK] --flavor FLAVOR [--alloc-volume VOLUMES] [--post-command COMMAND] [--print-ip] [--key-pair-id KEY_PAIR_ID] [--nic NICS] [--security-group SECURITY_GROUPS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this icon starts a new VM in openstack, and it brings some dependent resources along for the ride (swap volumes or floating IPs ATM). 🫶

The main-character detail? The script aims to behave as atomically as possible — either everything is allocated exactly as requested, or the script fails, and when it fails there are no leftovers. Not a single stray resource. It's giving all-or-nothing, periodt. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --name NAME — pick the name for the resulting VM. 💖
  • --image IMAGE — the OPTIONS list gives no extra description here, bestie; it's just IMAGE. 🖼️
  • --floating-ip-from FLOATING_IP_NETWORK — allocate a floating IP from a network; check neutron net-list, iykyk. 🌐
  • --flavor FLAVOR — an openstack flavor; see nova flavor-list. 🍓
  • --alloc-volume VOLUMES — allocate volumes by cinder. 💾
  • --post-command COMMAND — run COMMAND after the VM is started, and fail if the script fails too. The variables RESALLOC_OS_NAME and RESALLOC_OS_IP are exported into the environment of those scripts. 🫡
  • --print-ip — after a successful allocation, print the IP on standard output. 📬
  • --key-pair-id KEY_PAIR_ID — use a specific key; see ids (== names) in nova keypair-list. 🔑
  • --nic NICS — comma-separated, key=value,foo=baz arguments (see nova.servers.create(nics=...) help. 🧚
  • --security-group SECURITY_GROUPS — a security group name. 🛡️
