lctools is a handy set of command-line utilities designed to help you manage different cloud services. It's built on libcloud, which means it can connect with a lot of cloud providers, just like libcloud does.
To get started, you'll need to install it. You can do this by running:
sudo python setup.py install
For our example, we'll use GoGrid. First, you need to create a configuration file named ~/.lcrc
. Here's what you should include:
[default]
driver = gogrid
access_id = your_key_id
secret_key = your_password
This setup is pretty straightforward!
Once your config file is ready, you're all set to start managing your servers. To see the available images, type the following command in your terminal:
lc-image-list|grep -i centos
You should see something like this:
If you want to check out the available node sizes, just run:
lc-sizes-list
You now know the IDs of both images and sizes! To create a new node using this info:
lc-node-add -i 62 -s 1GB -n mynewnode
This command will spin up a CentOS node with ID '64', sized at '1GB', and named 'mynewnode'. Cool right?
If you want to see all your nodes later on, just type:
