Interact with AURO using native OpenStack Command-Line Interface (CLI) tools
You can interact with AURO Public Cloud using the native Openstack Command-Line Interface (CLI) tools.
AURO Public Cloud is based on Openstack, and the most recent Openstack CLIs and libraries are compatible with our Public Cloud. We recommend using a recent version of each of the CLI tools, which you can install using pip/pypi using our instructions linked below.
For each API there is a separate CLI tool. You can read about these CLI tools as well as get full command reference guides directly from the Openstack website, which also includes installation instructions. We have provided Linux installation instructions for use on our instances. If you need Windows or Mac OSX installation instructions you can get those directly from the Openstack website here: Install the OpenStack command-line clients
You can also view the installation and reference documentation directly on the Openstack website here. This chart will help you identify which CLI tool is for which service.
NovaClient - for interacting with the Compute service
CinderClient - for interacting with the Block Storage service
NeutronClient - for interacting with the Networking API, part of the Compute service
KeystoneClient - for interacting with the Identity service
SwiftClient - for interacting with the Object Storage service
GlanceClient - for interacting with the Image service
DesignateClient - for interacting with the DNS service
IMPORTANT! You will notice as you use these CLI tools that there is cross functionality. For example, to get a complete list of the available images on our service you can use the NovaClient with nova image-list or the GlanceClient with glance image-list and get the image list with some slight variations in the information provided. The GlanceClient will give more details about the images than the NovaClient will. Please reference the Openstack documentation at the links provided for more details.
