#Compute (Nova)

This document explains how to get started using OpenStack Compute (Nova) with Fog. It assumes you have read the Getting Started with Fog and the OpenStack document.

Starting irb console

Start by executing the following command:

irb

Once irb has launched you need to require the Fog library by executing:

require 'fog'

Create Service

Next, create a connection to the Compute Service:

service = Fog::Compute.new({
	:provider            => 'openstack',                                      # OpenStack Fog provider
	:openstack_auth_url  => 'http://KEYSTONE_HOST:KEYSTONE_PORT/v2.0/tokens', # OpenStack Keystone endpoint
	:openstack_username  => OPEN_STACK_USER,                                  # Your OpenStack Username
	:openstack_tenant    => OPEN_STACK_TENANT,                                # Your tenant id
	:openstack_api_key   => OPEN_STACK_PASSWORD,                              # Your OpenStack Password
	:connection_options  => {}                                                # Optional
})

Note openstack_username and openstack_tenant default to admin if omitted.

Optional Connection Parameters

Fog supports passing additional connection parameters to its underlying HTTP library (Excon) using the :connection_options parameter.

Key Description
:connect_timeout Connection timeout (default: 60 seconds)
:read_timeout Read timeout for connection (default: 60 seconds)
:write_timeout Write timeout for connection (default: 60 seconds)
:proxy Proxy for HTTP and HTTPS connections
:ssl_ca_path Path to SSL certificate authorities
:ssl_ca_file SSL certificate authority file
:ssl_verify_peer SSL verify peer (default: true)

Fog Abstractions

Fog provides both a model and request abstraction. The request abstraction provides the most efficient interface and the model abstraction wraps the request abstraction to provide a convenient ActiveModel like interface.

Request Layer

The request abstraction maps directly to the OpenStack Compute API. It provides the most efficient interface to the OpenStack Compute service.

To see a list of requests supported by the service:

service.requests

This returns:

:list_servers, :list_servers_detail, :create_server, :get_server_details, :update_server, :delete_server, :server_actions, :server_action, :reboot_server, :rebuild_server, :resize_server, :confirm_resize_server, :revert_resize_server, :pause_server, :unpause_server, :suspend_server, :resume_server, :rescue_server, :change_server_password, :add_fixed_ip, :remove_fixed_ip, :server_diagnostics, :boot_from_snapshot, :reset_server_state, :get_console_output, :get_vnc_console, :live_migrate_server, :migrate_server, :list_images, :list_images_detail, :create_image, :get_image_details, :delete_image, :list_flavors, :list_flavors_detail, :get_flavor_details, :create_flavor, :delete_flavor, :add_flavor_access, :remove_flavor_access, :list_tenants_with_flavor_access, :list_metadata, :get_metadata, :set_metadata, :update_metadata, :delete_metadata, :delete_meta, :update_meta, :list_addresses, :list_address_pools, :list_all_addresses, :list_private_addresses, :list_public_addresses, :get_address, :allocate_address, :associate_address, :release_address, :disassociate_address, :list_security_groups, :get_security_group, :create_security_group, :create_security_group_rule, :delete_security_group, :delete_security_group_rule, :get_security_group_rule, :list_key_pairs, :create_key_pair, :delete_key_pair, :list_tenants, :set_tenant, :get_limits, :list_volumes, :create_volume, :get_volume_details, :delete_volume, :attach_volume, :detach_volume, :get_server_volumes, :create_volume_snapshot, :list_snapshots, :get_snapshot_details, :delete_snapshot, :list_usages, :get_usage, :get_quota, :get_quota_defaults, :update_quota, :list_hosts, :get_host_details

Example Request

To request a list of flavors:

response = service.list_flavors

This returns in the following Excon::Response:

Model Layer

Fog models behave in a manner similar to ActiveModel. Models will generally respond to create, save, persisted?, destroy, reload and attributes methods. Additionally, fog will automatically create attribute accessors.

Here is a summary of common model methods:

Method Description
create Accepts hash of attributes and creates object.
Note: creation is a non-blocking call and you will be required to wait for a valid state before using resulting object.
save Saves object.
Note: not all objects support updating object.
persisted? Returns true if the object has been persisted.
destroy Destroys object.
Note: this is a non-blocking call and object deletion might not be instantaneous.
reload Updates object with latest state from service.
ready? Returns true if object is in a ready state and able to perform actions. This method will raise an exception if object is in an error state.
attributes Returns a hash containing the list of model attributes and values.
identity Returns the identity of the object.
Note: This might not always be equal to object.id.
wait_for This method periodically reloads model and then yields to specified block until block returns true or a timeout occurs.

The remainder of this document details the model abstraction.

Get Server

To return an individual server:

service.servers.get "4572529c-0cfc-433e-8dbf-7cc383ed5b7c"

This returns a Fog::Compute::OpenStack::Server instance:

Create Server

If you are interested in creating a server utilizing ssh key authentication, you are recommended to use bootstrap method.

To create a server:

flavor = service.flavors.first
image = service.images.first
server = service.servers.create(:name => 'fog-doc', :flavor_ref => flavor.id, :image_ref => image.id)

Note: The :name, :flavor_ref, and image_ref attributes are required for server creation.

This will return a Fog::Compute::OpenStack::Server instance:

<Fog::Compute::OpenStack::Server
id="81746324-94ab-44fb-9aa9-ee0b4d95fa34",
instance_name=nil,
addresses=nil,
flavor=nil,
host_id=nil,
image=nil,
metadata=    <Fog::Compute::OpenStack::Metadata

os_ext_srv_attr_instance_name=nil,
os_ext_sts_power_state=nil,
os_ext_sts_task_state=nil,
os_ext_sts_vm_state=nil

Notice that your server contains several nil attributes. To see the latest status, reload the instance as follows:

server.reload

You can see that the server is currently being built:

You will be unable to perform any actions to this server until it reaches an ACTIVE state. Since this is true for most server actions, Fog provides the convenience method wait_for.

Fog can wait for the server to become ready as follows:

server.wait_for { ready? }

Note: The Fog::Compute::OpenStack::Server instance returned from the create method contains a password attribute. The password attribute will NOT be present in subsequent retrievals either through service.servers or service.servers.get my_server_id.

Additional Parameters

The create method also supports the following key values:

Key Description
:metadata Hash containing server metadata.
:personality Array of files to be injected onto the server. Please refer to the Fog personality API documentation for further information.

Bootstrap

In addition to the create method, Fog provides a bootstrap method which creates a server and then performs the following actions via ssh:

  1. Create ROOT_USER/.ssh/authorized_keys file using the ssh key specified in :public_key_path.
  2. Lock password for root user using passwd -l root.
  3. Create ROOT_USER/attributes.json file with the contents of server.attributes.
  4. Create ROOT_USER/metadata.json file with the contents of server.metadata.

Note: Unlike the create method, bootstrap is blocking method call. If non-blocking behavior is desired, developers should use the :personality parameter on the create method.

The following example demonstrates bootstraping a server:

service.servers.bootstrap :name => 'bootstrap-server',
:flavor_id => service.flavors.first.id,
:image_id => service.images.find {|img| img.name =~ /Ubuntu/}.id,
:public_key_path => '~/.ssh/fog_rsa.pub',
:private_key_path => '~/.ssh/fog_rsa'

Note: The :name, :flavor_ref, :image_ref, :public_key_path, :private_key_path are required for the bootstrap method.

The bootstrap method uses the same additional parameters as the create method. Refer to the Additional Parameters section for more information.

SSH

Once a server has been created and set up for ssh key authentication, fog can execute remote commands as follows:

result = server.ssh ['pwd']

This will return the following:

[#<Fog::SSH::Result:0x1108241d0 @stderr="", @status=0, @stdout="/root\r\n", @command="pwd">]

Note: SSH key authentication can be set up using bootstrap method or by using the :personality attribute on the :create method. See Bootstrap or Create Server for more information.

Delete Server

To delete a server:

server.destroy

Note: The server is not immediately destroyed, but it does occur shortly there after.

Change Admin Password

To change the administrator password:

server.change_password "superSecure"

Reboot

To perform a soft reboot:

server.reboot

To perform a hard reboot:

server.reboot 'HARD'

Rebuild

Rebuild removes all data on the server and replaces it with the specified image. The id and all IP addresses remain the same.

The rebuild method has the following method signature:

def rebuild(image_ref, name, admin_pass=nil, metadata=nil, personality=nil)

A basic server build is as follows:

image = service.images.first
server.rebuild(image.id, name)

Resize

Resizing a server allows you to change the resources dedicated to the server.

To resize a server:

flavor = service.flavor[2]
server.resize flavor.id

During the resize process the server will have a state of RESIZE. Once a server has completed resizing it will be in a VERIFY_RESIZE state.

You can use Fog's wait_for method to wait for this state as follows:

server.wait_for { server.status == 'VERIFY_RESIZE' }

In this case, wait_for is waiting for the server to become VERIFY_READY and will raise an exception if we enter an ACTIVE or ERROR state.

Once a server enters the VERIFY_RESIZE we will need to call confirm_resize to confirm the server was properly resized or revert_resize to rollback to the old size/flavor.

Note: A server will automatically confirm resize after 24 hours.

To confirm resize:

server.confirm_resize

To revert to previous size/flavor:

server.revert_resize

Create Image

To create an image of your server:

response = server.create_image "back-image-#{server.name}", :metadata => { :environment => 'development' }

You can use the second parameter to specify image metadata. This is an optional parameter.`

During the imaging process, the image state will be SAVING. The image is ready for use when when state ACTIVE is reached. Fog can use wait_for to wait for an active state as follows:

image_id = response.body["image"]["id"]
image = service.images.get image_id
image.wait_for { ready? }

List Attached Volumes

To list Cloud Block Volumes attached to server:

server.volume_attachments

Attach Volume

To attach volume using the volume id:

server.attach_volume "0e7a706c-340d-48b3-802d-192850387f93", "/dev/xvdb"

If the volume id is unknown you can look it up as follows:

volume = service.volumes.first
server.attach_volume volume.id, "/dev/xvdb"

Note Valid device names are /dev/xvd[a-p].

Detach Volume

To detach a volume:

server.detach_volume volume.id
