OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook

Chapter 2. The OpenStack Client

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction – using OpenStack

  • Installing Python on Windows

  • Installing the OpenStack clients

  • Configuring your Linux or macOS environment

  • Configuring your Windows environment

  • Common OpenStack networking tasks

  • Common OpenStack server (instances) tasks

  • Common OpenStack image tasks

  • Common OpenStack identity tasks

  • Common OpenStack storage tasks

  • Common OpenStack orchestration tasks

Introduction – using OpenStack

OpenStack can be interacted with in a number of ways – from using the Horizon (the OpenStack control panel) web interface to, the power of the command line to using third -party software, all of which are transparently integrated with OpenStack. In this chapter, we will introduce the OpenStack Command-Line Interface (CLI) and see how to configure it for use with your installation of OpenStack. The OpenStack command-line tools, like the vast majority of OpenStack, are written in Python. This means that there is a direct dependency on Python being available on the computer that will be running the clients.

When we interact with OpenStack, we are technically making REST API calls to the services that run the Service APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). A REST API defines a set of functions that developers can perform requests and receive responses via HTTP protocol such as GET and POST. The OpenStack command-line clients translate your intuitive commands...

Installing Python on Windows

In order to be able to install the required OpenStack client tools under Windows, we must first prepare our Windows desktop machine with Python. The following applies to Windows 10.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged into your desktop and have the following installed:

How to do it…

Configuring your Windows environment can be achieved from Properties of your PC. Follow these instructions to ensure that Python is available in your system path, as well as set the appropriate environment variables under PowerShell:

  1. Navigate to the This PC icon on your desktop and choose Properties, as shown here:

  2. Next, choose Advanced system settings from the menu on the left:

  3. Now, select Environment Variables from the Advanced tab of the System Properties window, as shown here:

  4. To set the path for Python, double-click on the Path entry as shown here...

Installing the OpenStack clients

There are a number of OpenStack clients available that are used to interact with OpenStack from the command line. Historically, each service in OpenStack has its own client. For example, the OpenStack Compute project, Nova, has its own nova client. Similarly, the OpenStack networking project, Neutron, also has its own client called neutron client. And so on.

Officially, there is a convergence to using one client: the OpenStack client. However, not all commands and features are available under this one tool. Moreover, the OpenStack client still requires each individual project command-line tool installed to function; however, it provides a more consistent interface without the need to remember each individual project name.

Getting ready

As we are preparing your desktop for interacting with OpenStack from the command line, you will appreciate that there are a variety of choices you can make for your desktop OS of choice. This section will describe the installation...

Configuring your Linux or macOS environment

The OpenStack tools are configured by setting environment variables in your shell or desktop.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have the OpenStack clients installed as described in the first recipe, Introduction – using OpenStack, in this chapter.

How to do it…

Configuration of your command-line environment is achieved by setting environment variables; however, it is easier and more convenient to place these variables in a file that we can later load into our environment. During the installation, OpenStack-Ansible creates a plain text file called openrc and places this in the /root directory of all the containers created. This file is a great starting point for configuring the environment as it has all the required elements needed to operate your CLI environment.

On your own client, for example, Linux or Mac-based, choose a working directory, such as $HOME/openstack, and create a file called openrc (or a meaningful name of your choice) with the following...

Configuring your Windows environment

Configuring your Windows environment for use with OpenStack requires a little more effort – but the basic premise remains: we're configuring our desktop so that it has access to environment variables, as well as ensuring that our tools, written in Python, are able to execute properly.

Getting ready

The following applies to Windows 10. Ensure that you have followed the steps to install Python.

How to do it…

Carry out the following to load the required environment variables into your Windows session:

  1. To be able to source in the required OpenStack environment functions as we do on a Unix/Linux platform, we can achieve a similar outcome using some PowerShell. In the PowerShell Terminal, go and grab the following PowerShell script and download it into your working client directory (for example C:\Users\Username\OpenStack):

    mkdir OpenStack
cd OpenStack
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenStackCookbook/vagrant-openstack/master/Source-OpenRC.ps1 -UseBasicParsing...

Common OpenStack networking tasks

This section outlines common OpenStack networking tasks for quick reference only. For more details on using Neutron and how Neutron works – including details of when and where to use features such as Floating IPs and Routers, refer to Chapter 4, Neutron – OpenStack Networking.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have the OpenStack clients installed, as described in the first recipes in this chapter.

How to do it…

Carry out the following steps to create and modify networks in OpenStack:

Creating a network

There are usually two steps to create a network: creating the equivalent of an L2 network, followed by assigning a subnet (and details to it).

  1. First, create the network:

    openstack network create NETWORK_NAME

  2. Now create the subnet on this network:

    openstack subnet create SUBNET_NAME
    --network NETWORK_NAME--subnet-range CIDR
Creating a provider network (for use with Floating IPs)

To create a floating IP provider network, carry out the following commands. This command...

Common OpenStack server (instances) tasks

This section outlines a number of common commands that can be run when operating with instances (for example, virtual machines). For more detailed information and explanation of each task, refer to Chapter 5, Nova – OpenStack Compute.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have the OpenStack clients installed as described in the first recipes of this chapter.

How to do it…

Carry out the following to launch and manipulate running instances:

Launching an instance

To launch in an instance from the command line, you need the following information:

  • An image

  • A network

  • A flavor

  • An optional security group (default is used otherwise)

  • An optional key (if you intend to access the instance)

Carry out the following steps to launch an instance from the command line:

  1. First, list the images available:

    openstack image list

  2. Now we list the networks available (it will be the UUID of the Network we will use):

    openstack network list

  3. We need a flavor, if you need reminding of them, list them...

Common OpenStack image tasks

This section outlines a number of steps, intended as a quick overview only, when operating against the OpenStack Image service (known as Glance). For more detailed information and explanation of each task, refer to Chapter 6, Glance – OpenStack Image Service.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have the OpenStack clients installed, as described in the first recipes in this chapter.

How to do it…

Carry out the following steps to create and modify images in OpenStack:

Uploading an image to Glance

Uploading an image to OpenStack is achieved with the following. To upload, a QCOW2 image such as one provided by CirrOS for testing, carry out the following command:

openstack image create
    --container-type bare
    --disk-format qcow2
    --public
    --file
 /path/to/cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk.img

Downloading an image or snapshot from Glance as a file

To download an image from Glance, perhaps for copying to another environment or to store as an offsite backup, carry out the following...

Common OpenStack identity tasks

This section outlines a number of common steps to take for a number of common actions using the OpenStack Identity service. This is intended as a quick reference guide only. For more detailed information and explanation of each task, refer to Chapter 3, Keystone – OpenStack Identity Service.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have the OpenStack clients installed, as described in the first recipes of this chapter.

How to do it…

Carry out the following steps to create and modify users and projects in OpenStack:

Creating a new project

Creating a new user in a project is achieved with the following command. For example, to create the project called development, execute the following command:

openstack project create development

Creating a user

To create a user called developer, with a password of password123, carry out the following command:

openstack user create
    --domain default
    --password password123
    --enable
    developer

Adding a user to a project

To add a...

Common OpenStack storage tasks

This section outlines a number of common tasks using the OpenStack Block and Object Storage service. For more information on storage, refer to Chapter 7, Cinder – OpenStack Block Storage and Chapter 8, Swift – OpenStack Object Storage.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have the OpenStack clients installed, as described in the first recipes of this chapter.

How to do it…

Carry out the following steps to create and modify users and projects in OpenStack:

Create a new Cinder volume

To create a new Cinder block storage volume, carry out the following command. The size is in gigabytes:

openstack volume create --size 5 my5GVolume

Attaching a volume

To attach a volume to a running instance, carry out the following command. The running instance UUID is used and can be found by listing the running instances:

openstack server add volume my5GVolume 58ea640b-16ba-447c-85db-952174d70f7c

Detaching a volume

To detach a volume, first unmount it from the running instance as you would normally...

The cookbook always was a great resource to learn about the basics of Openstack and to set up ones own clusters. While the earlier editions were limited with respect to network topologies and production cluster setup, the new, fourth editions has made a big step forward. The presented network topology and setup recipes of the cookbook are "production grade". You learn how to build your own small production cluster that can be used for learning but also to test real workloads. Kudos to the writers for this new edition.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
