delete_image
(node_image)¶ Deletes a node image from a provider.
Parameters: node_image ( NodeImage

if delete_image was successful,False
otherwise.Return type: bool
-
delete_key_pair
(key_pair)¶ Delete an existing key pair.
Parameters: key_pair ( KeyPair

-
deploy_node
(**kwargs)¶ Create a new node, and start deployment.
In order to be able to SSH into a created node access credentials are required.
A user can pass either a
NodeAuthPassword
orNodeAuthSSHKey
to theauth
argument. If thecreate_node
implementation supports that kind if credential (as declared inself.features['create_node']
) then it is passed on tocreate_node
. Otherwise it is not passed on tocreate_node
and it is only used for authentication.If the
auth
parameter is not supplied but the driver declares it supportsgenerates_password
then the password returned bycreate_node
will be used to SSH into the server.Finally, if the
ssh_key_file
is supplied that key will be used to SSH into the server.This function may raise a
DeploymentException
, if a create_node call was successful, but there is a later error (like SSH failing or timing out). This exception includes a Node object which you may want to destroy if incomplete deployments are not desirable.>>> from libcloud.compute.drivers.dummy import DummyNodeDriver >>> from libcloud.compute.deployment import ScriptDeployment >>> from libcloud.compute.deployment import MultiStepDeployment >>> from libcloud.compute.base import NodeAuthSSHKey >>> driver = DummyNodeDriver(0) >>> key = NodeAuthSSHKey('...') # read from file >>> script = ScriptDeployment("yum -y install emacs strace tcpdump") >>> msd = MultiStepDeployment([key, script]) >>> def d(): ... try: ... driver.deploy_node(deploy=msd) ... except NotImplementedError: ... print ("not implemented for dummy driver") >>> d() not implemented for dummy driver
Deploy node is typically not overridden in subclasses. The existing implementation should be able to handle most such.
Parameters: - deploy (
Deployment
) – Deployment to run once machine is online and available to SSH. - ssh_username (
str
) – Optional name of the account which is used when connecting to SSH server (default is root) - ssh_alternate_usernames (
list

int
) – Optional SSH server port (default is 22) - ssh_timeout (
float
) – Optional SSH connection timeout in seconds (default is 10) - auth (
NodeAuthSSHKey
orNodeAuthPassword
) – Initial authentication information for the node (optional) - ssh_key (
str
orlist
ofstr
) – A path (or paths) to an SSH private key with which to attempt to authenticate. (optional) - timeout (
int
) – How many seconds to wait before timing out. (default is 600) - max_tries (
int
) – How many times to retry if a deployment fails before giving up (default is 3) - ssh_interface (
str
) – The interface to wait for. Default is ‘public_ips’, other option is ‘private_ips’.
