********************** SNAPS-OO Library Usage ********************** The pattern used within the SNAPS-OO library for creating OpenStack instances have been made as consistent as possible amongst the different instance types. Each consists of a constructor that takes in a credentials object and generally takes in a single "settings" (configuration) object. The only exception to this rule is with the OpenStackVMInstance (creates an OpenStack Server) where it takes in the additional settings used for the associated image and SSH key-pairs credentials as those objects contain additional attributes required of SNAPS, primarily when one needs to obtain remote access. After instantiation, the create() method must be called to initiate all of the necessary remote API calls to OpenStack required for proper instance creation. SNAPS Credentials ================= As communicating with OpenStack is performed via secure remote RESTful API calls, any function or method performing any type of query or CRUD operation must know how to connect to the NFVI. The class ***OSCreds*** defined in *snaps.openstack.os\_credentials.py* contains everything required to connect to any Keystone v2.0 or v3 authorization server. The attributes are listed below: - username - password - auth\_url - project\_name (aka. tenant\_name) - identity\_api\_version (for obtaining Keystone authorization token. Versions 2.0 & v3 only validated.) - image\_api\_version (Glance version 1 & 2 only validated) - network\_api\_version (Neutron version 2 currently only validated) - compute\_api\_version (Nova version 2 currently only validated) - heat\_api\_version (Heat version 1 currently only validated) - user\_domain\_id (default='default') - project\_domain\_id (default='default') - interface (default='admin', used to specify the endpoint type for keystone: public, admin, internal) - cacert (default=False, expected values T|F to denote server certificate verification, else value contains the path to an HTTPS certificate) - region_name (The region name default=None) - proxy\_settings - host (the HTTP proxy host) - port (the HTTP proxy port) - https\_host (the HTTPS proxy host, default value of host) - https\_port (the HTTPS proxy port, default value of port) - ssh\_proxy\_cmd (same as the value placed into ssh -o ProxyCommand='') Create OS Credentials Object ---------------------------- .. code:: python from snaps.openstack.os_credentials import OSCreds os_creds=OSCreds(username='admin', password='admin', auth_url='http://localhost:5000/v3', project_name='admin', identity_api_version=3) SNAPS Object Creators ===================== Each creator minimally requires an OSCreds object for connecting to the NFVI, associated \*Settings object for instance configuration, create() method to make the necessary remote API calls and create all of the necessary OpenStack instances required, and clean() method that is responsible for deleting all associated OpenStack instances. Please see the class diagram `here `__.

This is why we added Ansible playbook support to SNAPS-OO which can be located in snaps.provisioning.ansible\_utils#apply\_playbook. See below for a description of that function's parameters: - playbook\_path - the file location of the ansible playbook - hosts\_inv - a list of hosts/IP addresses to which the playbook will be applied - host\_user - the user (preferably sudo) to use for applying the playbook - ssh\_priv\_key\_file\_path - the location to the private key file used for SSH - variables - a dict() of substitution values for Jinga2 templates leveraged by Ansible - proxy\_setting - used to extract the SSH proxy command (optional) Apply Ansible Playbook Utility ------------------------------ .. code:: python from snaps.provisioning import ansible_utils ansible_utils.apply_playbook(playbook_path='provisioning/tests/playbooks/simple_playbook.yml', hosts_inv=[ip], host_user=user, ssh_priv_key_file_path=priv_key, proxy_setting=self.os_creds.proxy_settings) OpenStack Utilities =================== For those who do like working procedurally, SNAPS-OO also leverages utilitarian functions for nearly every query or request made to OpenStack. This pattern will make it easier to deal with API version changes as they would all be made in one place. (see keystone\_utils for an example of this pattern as this is the only API where SNAPS is supporting more than one version) - snaps.openstack.utils.keystone\_utils - for calls to the Keystone APIs - snaps.openstack.utils.glance\_utils - for calls to the Glance APIs - snaps.openstack.utils.neutron\_utils - for calls to the Neutron APIs - snaps.openstack.utils.nova\_utils - for calls to the Nova APIs
