Some instructions in the README
This project aims to provide a new compute API interface for Apache Cloudstack that is compatible with Google Compute Engine GCE. GCE is Google's Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) compute service that competes with Amazon Web Services EC2. In short, this is a mapping of the GCE API reference and the CloudStack API
The GCE APIs for Cloudstack is supplied as a layer over the current Cloudstack API. The given application will take in a GCE based API request, pass it over to the Cloudstack API, get the required data and return it in a suitable format.
It is written in Python, using Flask to expose a GCE compliant REST API. Requests, Pycrypto, Pyopenssl and Flask-sqlachemy are dependencies. A custom version of pyoauth2 is included in the source.
In this first early release, the following GCE categories are implemented:
Caveat: There exists some semantic differences between the two APIs, for example between the concept of zones and regions, projects and domains. This project does a best effort attempt at creating a usable GCE interface to a CloudStack cloud but it may not fit every CloudStack deployment.
##Installation
#Developers
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/NOPping/cloudstack-gce.git
Install the package
python ./setup.py install
This will install a gcecloudstack binary in your path. Check the gcecloudstack/data/config.cfg and enter the endpoint of your cloud.
Install gcutil
gcloud comes with a self-signed certificate for the local endpoint gcecloudstack/data/server.crt, copy the certificate to the gcutil certificates file gcutil/lib/httplib2/httplib2/cacerts.txt
At this stage your CloudStack apikey and secretkey need to be entered in the gcutil auth_helper.py file at gcutil/lib/google_compute_engine/gcutil/auth_helper.py This is far from ideal and we opened a featur request with google to pass the client_id and client_secret as options to gcutil, hopefully future release of gcutil will allow us to do so.
Start gcloud:
gcecloudstack
Use gcutil with the following parameters (an alias can be useful):
gcutil --authorization_uri_base=https://localhost:5000/oauth2 --auth_host_name=127.0.0.1 --auth_host_port=9999 --auth_local_webserver=true --api_host="https://localhost:5000/" --fetch_discovery=true
gcutil will issues requests to the local Flask application, get an OAuth token and then issue requests to your CloudStack endpoint
#Users
You can grab the package from Pypi
pip install gcloud
Then follow the same instructions as the Developers.
##Usage
With a small convenient bash script like this:
#!/bin/bash echo $* gcutil --authorization_uri_base=https://localhost:5000/oauth2 --auth_host_name=127.0.0.1 --auth_host_port=9999 --auth_local_webserver=true --api_host="https://localhost:5000/" --fetch_discovery=true $*
You can start issuing standard gcutil commands:
gcloud --project foobar listmachinetype
##Trouble shooting
If you encounter authentication/authorization issues, clean up your gcutil authentication information rm -rf ~/.gcutil_auth, make sure that you set your client_id and client_secret in gcutil/lib/google_compute_engine/gcutil/auth_helper.py
