Instantiating a driver

The DigitalOcean driver supports API v2.0, requiring a Personal Access Token to initialize as the key. The older API v1.0 reached end of life on November 9, 2015. Support for API v1.0 was removed in libcloud v1.2.2.

Instantiating a driver using API v2.0

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

cls = get_driver(Provider.DIGITAL_OCEAN)

driver = cls('access token', api_version='v2')

Creating a Droplet using API v2.0

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

cls = get_driver(Provider.DIGITAL_OCEAN)

driver = cls('access token', api_version='v2')

options = {'backups': True,
           'private_networking': True,
           'ssh_keys': [123456, 123457]}

name = 'test.domain.tld'
size = driver.list_sizes()[0]
image = driver.list_images()[0]
location = driver.list_locations()[0]

node = driver.create_node(name, size, image, location,
                          ex_create_attr=options)

create_node(name, size, image, location, ex_create_attr=None, ex_ssh_key_ids=None, ex_user_data=None)[source]

Create a node.

The ex_create_attr parameter can include the following dictionary key and value pairs:

  • backups: bool defaults to False
  • ipv6: bool defaults to False
  • private_networking: bool defaults to False
  • user_data: str for cloud-config data
  • ssh_keys: list of int key ids or str fingerprints

ex_create_attr[‘ssh_keys’] will override ex_ssh_key_ids assignment.

  • ex_ssh_key_ids (list of int key ids or str key fingerprints) – A list of ssh key ids which will be added to the server. (optional)
  • ex_user_data (str) – User data to be added to the node on create. (optional)
Returns:

The newly created node.

Return type:

Node

create_volume(size, name, location=None, snapshot=None)[source]

Create a new volume.

Parameters:
  • size (int) – Size of volume in gigabytes (required)
  • name (str) – Name of the volume to be created
  • location (NodeLocation) – Which data center to create a volume in. If empty, undefined behavior will be selected. (optional)
  • snapshot (VolumeSnapshot) – Snapshot from which to create the new volume. (optional)
Returns:

The newly created volume.

Return type:

StorageVolume

create_volume_snapshot(volume, name)[source]

Create a new volume snapshot.

Parameters:volume (class:StorageVolume) – Volume to create a snapshot for
Returns:The newly created volume snapshot.
Return type:VolumeSnapshot
delete_image(image)[source]

Delete an image for node.

@inherits: NodeDriver.delete_image

Parameters:image (NodeImage) – the image to be deleted
Return type:bool
delete_key_pair(key)[source]

Delete an existing SSH key.

Parameters:key (KeyPair) – SSH key (required)
delete_volume_snapshot(snapshot)[source]

Delete a volume snapshot

Parameters:snapshot (class:VolumeSnapshot) – volume snapshot to delete
Return type:bool
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 or NodeAuthSSHKey to the auth argument. If the create_node implementation supports that kind if credential (as declared in self.features['create_node']) then it is passed on to create_node. Otherwise it is not passed on to create_node and it is only used for authentication.

If the auth parameter is not supplied but the driver declares it supports generates_password then the password returned by create_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.
