Setup ----- To initialize a connection to a cloud and get a provider object, you will need to provide the cloud's access credentials to CloudBridge. For more details on how to create and find these credentials, see `Procuring Access Credentials `_. Once available, these may be provided in one of following ways: 1. Environment variables 2. A dictionary 3. Configuration file Providing access credentials through environment variables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following environment variables must be set, depending on the provider in use. **Amazon** +---------------------+ | Mandatory variables | +=====================+ | AWS_ACCESS_KEY | +---------------------+ | AWS_SECRET_KEY | +---------------------+ **Openstack** +---------------------+ | Mandatory variables | +=====================+ | OS_AUTH_URL | +---------------------+ | OS_USERNAME | +---------------------+ | OS_PASSWORD | +---------------------+ | OS_PROJECT_NAME | +---------------------+ | OS_REGION_NAME | +---------------------+ +------------------------+ | Optional Variables | +========================+ | NOVA_SERVICE_NAME | +------------------------+ | OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION | +------------------------+ | OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION | +------------------------+ | OS_STORAGE_URL | +------------------------+ | OS_AUTH_TOKEN | +------------------------+ **Microsoft Azure** Note that managing resources in Azure requires a Resource Group. If a Resource Group is not provided as part of the configuration, cloudbridge will attempt to create a Resource Group using the given credentials. This operation will happen with the client initialization, and requires a "contributor" or "owner" role. Similarly, a Storage Account is required when managing some resources, such as KeyPairs and Buckets. If a Storage Account name is not provided as part of the configuration, cloudbridge will attempt to create the Storage Account when initializing the relevant services. This operation similarly requires a "contributor" or "owner" role. For more information on roles, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview +-----------------------+ | Mandatory variables | +=======================+ | AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID | +-----------------------+ | AZURE_CLIENT_ID | +-----------------------+ | AZURE_SECRET | +-----------------------+ | AZURE_TENANT | +-----------------------+ +-------------------------------------+ | Optional Variables | +=====================================+ | AZURE_REGION_NAME | +-------------------------------------+ | AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP | +-------------------------------------+ | AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT | +-------------------------------------+ | AZURE_VM_DEFAULT_USER_NAME | +-------------------------------------+ | AZURE_PUBLIC_KEY_STORAGE_TABLE_NAME | +-------------------------------------+ **Google** +------------------------+ | Mandatory variables | +========================+ | GCE_SERVICE_CREDS_FILE | | or | | GCE_SERVICE_CREDS_DICT | +------------------------+ +--------------------+ | Optional Variables | +====================+ | GCE_PROJECT_NAME | +--------------------+ | GCE_DEFAULT_ZONE | +--------------------+ | GCE_REGION_NAME | +--------------------+ Once the environment variables are set, you can create a connection as follows: .. code-block:: python from cloudbridge.cloud.factory import CloudProviderFactory, ProviderList provider = CloudProviderFactory().create_provider(ProviderList.OPENSTACK, {}) Providing access credentials through a dictionary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can initialize a simple config as follows. The key names are the same as the environment variables, in lower case. Note that the config dictionary will override environment values. .. code-block:: python from cloudbridge.cloud.factory import CloudProviderFactory, ProviderList config = {'aws_access_key' : '', 'aws_secret_key' : ''} provider = CloudProviderFactory().create_provider(ProviderList.AWS, config) ## For Azure config = {'azure_subscription_id': '', 'azure_client_id': '', 'azure_secret': '', 'azure_tenant': '', 'azure_resource_group': ''} provider = CloudProviderFactory().create_provider(ProviderList.AZURE, config) Some optional configuration values can only be provided through the config dictionary. These are listed below for each provider. **CloudBridge** +----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | Variable | Description | +======================+============================================================+ | default_result_limit | Number of results that a ``.list()`` method should return. | | | Defaults to 50. | +----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+ **Amazon** +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Variable | Description | +=====================+==============================================================+ | aws_session_token | Session key for your AWS account (if using temporary | | | credentials). | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | ec2_is_secure | True to use an SSL connection. Default is ``True``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | ec2_region_name | Default region name. Defaults to ``us-east-1``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | ec2_region_endpoint | Endpoint to use. Default is ``ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | ec2_port | EC2 connection port. Does not need to be specified unless | | | EC2 service is running on an alternative port. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | ec2_conn_path | Connection path. Defaults to ``/``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | ec2_validate_certs | Whether to use SSL certificate verification. Default is | | | ``False``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | s3_is_secure | True to use an SSL connection. Default is ``True``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | s3_host | Host connection endpoint.

Defaults to ``/``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | s3_validate_certs | Whether to use SSL certificate verification. Default is | | | ``False``. | +---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ Providing access credentials in a file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CloudBridge can also read credentials from a file on your local file system. The file should be placed in one of two locations: ``/etc/cloudbridge.ini`` or ``~/.cloudbridge``. Each set of credentials should be delineated with the provider ID (e.g., ``openstack``, ``aws``, ``azure``, ``gce``) with the necessary credentials being supplied in YAML format. Note that only one set of credentials per cloud provider type can be supplied (i.e., via this method, it is not possible to provide credentials for two different OpenStack clouds). .. code-block:: bash [openstack] os_username: username os_password: password os_auth_url: auth url os_user_domain_name: user domain name os_project_domain_name: project domain name os_project_name: project name [aws] aws_access_key: access key aws_secret_key: secret key Other configuration variables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In addition to the provider specific configuration variables above, there are some general configuration environment variables that apply to CloudBridge as a whole +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | Variable | Description | +=============================+======================================================+ | CB_DEBUG | Setting ``CB_DEBUG=True`` will cause detailed | | | debugoutput to be printed for each provider | | | (including HTTP traces). | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CB_USE_MOCK_PROVIDERS | Setting this to ``True`` will cause the CloudBridge | | | test suite to use mock drivers when available. | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CB_TEST_PROVIDER | Set this value to a valid :class:`.ProviderList` | | | value such as ``aws``, to limit tests to that | | | provider only. | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CB_DEFAULT_SUBNET_LABEL | Name to be used for a subnet that will be | | | considered the 'default' by the library. This | | | default will be used only in cases there is no | | | subnet marked as the default by the provider. | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CB_DEFAULT_NETWORK_LABEL | Name to be used for a network that will be | | | considered the 'default' by the library. This | | | default will be used only in cases there is no | | | network marked as the default by the provider. | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CB_DEFAULT_IPV4RANGE | The default IPv4 range when creating networks if | | | one is not provided. This value is also used in | | | tests. | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CB_DEFAULT_SUBNET_IPV4RANGE | The default subnet IPv4 range used by CloudBridge | | | if one is not specified by the user. Tests do not | | | respect this variable. | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
