iland sdk Example

Based on the original work of Jerry Perry at iland.

I updated this python script to support version 1 of the iland Cloud API. The script is an extremely basic CLI interface to the iland Cloud API. It is intended to serve as an example of how you could use the iland Cloud API in your own scripts. You could use this to handle basic power operations for your VMs.

Usage

python iland_api.py --uuid UUID [action] [object]

Available Actions:

• list - Queries the inventory and returns a list of objects
  • Objects: company, location, org, vdc, vapp, vm
• power_on - Power on the object
  • Objects: vm
• power_off - Power off the object
  • Objects: vm
• reboot - Power off and then power on the object
  • Objects: vm
• shutdown - Gracefully shutdown the object
  • Objects: vm
• suspend - Suspend a VM, saving state and powering off.
  • Objects: vm

Requirements

You must install the iland-sdk (https://github.com/ilanddev/python-sdk):

pip install iland-sdk

You must supply credentials in creds.json. An example .json file is provided in example.creds.json.

Examples

List all the VMs and their UUIDs:

python iland_api.py list vm

Shutdown a VM:

python iland_api.py --uuid dal42.ilandcloud.com:urn:vcloud:vm:46fe90cf-6199-400a-a23e-ff44e0126a8c shutdown vm

Power down a VM:

python iland_api.py --uuid dal42.ilandcloud.com:urn:vcloud:vm:46fe90cf-6199-400a-a23e-ff44e0126a8c power_off vm

Power on a VM:

python iland_api.py --uuid dal42.ilandcloud.com:urn:vcloud:vm:46fe90cf-6199-400a-a23e-ff44e0126a8c power_on vm
