OpenStackのPython Client Libraryの使い方をサンプルコードで紹介

何の話かというと

OpenStackのPython用Client Libraryは、pydoc程度しかドキュメントがなくて困っていたので、pydocから見える情報をベースにして(勘と経験で)利用方法の参考になりそうなサンプルコードを作ってみました。

それぞれのクライアントは、「Clientオブジェクトを取得して、それにくっついたManagerから各コンポーネントのオブジェクトを作って・・・、」という流れは共通していますが、微妙に細かいところで仕様の不統一があります。引数でコンポーネントを指定する際に、オブジェクトを渡す場合とIDを渡す場合があったり、list()で返ってくるのが、オブジェクトのリストだったり、Iteratorだったりします。

前提環境

Fedora 18 + RDO(Grizzly)の環境でテストしています。

ここでは、Glance/Cinder/NovaのClient Libraryについて説明します。その他はまたの機会に。

Clientオブジェクトの取得

Client libraryを使用する際は、はじめに各モジュール(glance/cinder/nova)のClientオブジェクトを取得します。次は各Clientオブジェクトを取得するおまじないです。「keystoenrc_XXX」で、いつもの環境変数を設定した状態で実行してください。

clients.py

#!/usr/bin/python 
# Boilerplate for preparing client objects

import os
import keystoneclient.v2_0.client as kclient
import novaclient.v1_1.client as nclient
import glanceclient.v1.client as gclient
import cinderclient.v1.client as cclient

_keystone_creds = {}
_keystone_creds['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
_keystone_creds['password'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
_keystone_creds['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
_keystone_creds['tenant_name'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']

_nova_creds = {}
_nova_creds['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
_nova_creds['api_key'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
_nova_creds['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
_nova_creds['project_id'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']

keystone = kclient.Client(**_keystone_creds)
nova = nclient.Client(**_nova_creds)
cinder = cclient.Client(**_nova_creds)
_glance_ep = keystone.service_catalog.url_for(
                 service_type='image', endpoint_type='publicURL')
glance = gclient.Client(_glance_ep, token=keystone.auth_token)

ここで取得されるClientオブジェクトは、そのメンバとして、自身が管理する各種コンポーネントのManagerオブジェクトを持っています。Managerオブジェクトのメソッドで、個々のコンポーネントを表すオブジェクトを取得して利用します。主要なManagerオブジェクトは次のとおりです。

glance: Glance Client
glance.images: Image Manager(imageオブジェクトを取り扱う)

cinder: Cinder Client
cinder.volumes: Volume Manager(volumeオブジェクトを取り扱う)
cinder.volume_snapshots: Snapshot Manager(snapshotオブジェクトを取り扱う)

nova: Nova Client
nova.servers: Server Manager(serverオブジェクトを取り扱う)
nova.floating_ips: Floating IP Manager(floating_ipオブジェクトを取り扱う)
nova.security_groups: Security Group Manager(security_groupオブジェクトを取り扱う)
nova.security_group_rules: Security Group Rules Manager(security_group_ruleオブジェクトを取り扱う)
nova.flavors: Flavor Manager(flavorオブジェクトを取り扱う)
nova.keypairs: Keypair Manager (keypairオブジェクトを取り扱う)

Nova Clientでは、nova.imagesとnova.networksのManagerを使って、imageとnetworkも扱えるようになっています。本来は、CinderとNeutronのClientを使うべきですが、インスタンス起動時にイメージやネットワークのIDを検索するなど、簡易的に利用するのに便利です。

Glance Client

まずは、比較的シンプルなGlance Clientから説明します。glance.images(Image Manager)の主要なメソッドを「# pydoc glanceclient.v1.images」から抜き出すと次のようになります。日本語のコメントは私が追加しています。

     |  create(self, **kwargs)
     |      Create an image  # 作成したimageオブジェクトを返す。引数はこの後のサンプルコードを参照。
     |
     |  list(self, **kwargs) # filtersにマッチしたimageオブジェクトのIteratorを返す。
     |      Get a list of images.
     |      :param limit: maximum number of images to return
     |      :param filters: dict of direct comparison filters that mimics the
     |                      structure of an image object # imageオブジェクトのアトリビュートを指定する。
     |
     |  delete(self, image)
     |      Delete an image. # imageオブジェクトを引数に取る。
     |
     |  update(self, image, **kwargs) # imageオブジェクトを引数に取って、アトリビュートを更新します。
     |      Update an image

同じく、imageオブジェクトの主要メソッドです。

     |  delete(self)
     |  
     |  update(self, **fields) # アトリビュートを更新します。

最後に、imageオブジェクトのアトリビュート一覧です。「image._info」でぶっこ抜いたサンプルです。

{   u'checksum': u'd972013792949d0d3ba628fbe8685bce',
    u'container_format': u'bare',
    u'created_at': u'2013-12-15T06:03:46',
    u'deleted': False,
    u'deleted_at': None,
    u'disk_format': u'qcow2',
    u'id': u'7d7188d1-4c38-459a-965a-ed03efc6c30e',
    u'is_public': True,

    u'size': 13147648,
    u'status': u'active',
    u'updated_at': u'2013-12-15T06:03:47'}

それでは、これらを利用するサンプルコードです。先の「clients.py」と同じディレクトリに置いて実行して下さい。

glance.py

#!/usr/bin/python
from clients import nova, glance, cinder
import pprint
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)

print "Delete sample images if exist."
images = glance.images.list(filters={'name':"sample-1"})
for image in images:
    image.delete()

images = glance.images.list(filters={'name':"sample-2"})
for image in images:
    image.delete()

print "Upload sample images (sample-1, sample-2)."
with open('/tmp/cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-disk.img') as imagefile:
    image01 = glance.images.create(
                  name="sample-1", is_public=True, disk_format='qcow2',
                  container_format='bare', data=imagefile)

with open('/tmp/cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-disk.img') as imagefile:
    image02 = glance.images.create(
                  name="sample-2", is_public=True, disk_format='qcow2',
                  container_format='bare', data=imagefile)

print "Update an attribute through an image object."
image01.update(min_ram=512)

print "Update an attribute through the image manager."
glance.images.update(image02.id, min_ram=512)

print "List all images"
for image in glance.images.list():
   print "----"
   print "Attributes of %s" % image.name
   pp.pprint(image._info)
print ""

print "Delete an image through an image object."
image01.delete()
print "Delete an image through the image manager."
glance.images.delete(image02.id)

print "List all images, again"
for image in glance.images.list():
   print "----"
   print "Attributes of %s" % image.name
   pp.pprint(image._info)

実行例はこちらです。この環境では、「Fedora19」のイメージが最初からあります。冒頭のUserWarningは、既知の問題っぽいのでとりあえず無視してください。

Cinder Client

次はCinder Clientです。cinder.volumes(Volume Manager)とcinder.volume_snapshots(Snapshot Manager)の2つのManagerがあります。まず、Volume Managerについて、主要なメソッドを「# pydoc cinderclient.v1.volumes」から抜き出します。

     |  create(self, size, snapshot_id=None, source_volid=None, display_name=None, display_description=None, volume_type=None, user_id=None, project_id=None, availability_zone=None, metadata=None, imageRef=None)
     |      Create a volume.
     |      
     |      :param size: Size of volume in GB
     |      :param snapshot_id: ID of the snapshot
     |      :param display_name: Name of the volume
     |      :param display_description: Description of the volume
     |      :param volume_type: Type of volume
     |      :rtype: :class:`Volume`
     |      :param user_id: User id derived from context
     |      :param project_id: Project id derived from context
     |      :param availability_zone: Availability Zone to use
     |      :param metadata: Optional metadata to set on volume creation
     |      :param imageRef: reference to an image stored in glance
     |      :param source_volid: ID of source volume to clone from
     |  
     |  delete(self, volume)
     |      Delete a volume.
     |      
     |  get(self, volume_id)
     |      Get a volume.
     |      
     |  list(self, detailed=True, search_opts=None)
     |      Get a list of all volumes.
     |      
     |  find(self, **kwargs)
     |      Find a single item with attributes matching ``**kwargs``.
     |      
     |      This isn't very efficient: it loads the entire list then filters on
     |      the Python side.
     |  
     |  findall(self, **kwargs)
     |      Find all items with attributes matching ``**kwargs``. 

同じく、volumeオブジェクトの主要メソッドです。

     |  delete(self)
     |      Delete this volume.
     |      
     |  update(self, **kwargs)
     |      Update the display_name or display_description for this volume.

最後に、volumeオブジェクトのアトリビュート一覧です。「volume._info」でぶっこ抜いたサンプルです。

{   u'attachments': [],
    u'availability_zone': u'nova',
    u'bootable': u'false',
    u'created_at': u'2013-12-15T11:13:56.000000',
    u'display_description': u'test volume',
    u'display_name': u'volume01',
    u'id': u'a4cd89bf-253d-41ab-8920-78f3a7f101bd',

    u'snapshot_id': None,
    u'source_volid': None,
    u'status': u'creating',
    u'volume_type': u'None'}

それでは、Volume Managerを使ったサンプルコードと実行例です。

cinder.py

#!/usr/bin/python
from clients import nova, glance, cinder

pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)

print "Delete sample volumes if exist."
volumes = cinder.volumes.findall(display_name='sample-1')

    volume.delete()

volumes = cinder.volumes.findall(display_name='sample-2')

    volume.delete()

print "Create sample volumes (sample-1, sample-2)."
volume01 = cinder.volumes.create(size=1, display_name='sample-1',
                                 display_description='test volume No.1')

   pp.pprint(volume._info)
print ""

print "Delete a volume through an volume object."
volume01.delete()
print "Delete a image through the volume manager."
cinder.volumes.delete(volume02)

    try:
        cinder.volumes.get(volume01.id)
        print "Wait sample-1 to be deleted."
        time.sleep(1)
    except:
        volume01=None

while (volume02):
    try:
        cinder.volumes.get(volume02.id)
        print "Wait sample-2 to be deleted."
        time.sleep(1)
    except:
        volume02=None

print "List all volumes, again"

続いて、Snapshot Managerです。「# pydoc cinderclient.v1.volume_snapshots」から抽出した主要メソッド。

     |  create(self, volume_id, force=False, display_name=None, display_description=None)
     |      Create a snapshot of the given volume.
     |      
     |      :param volume_id: The ID of the volume to snapshot.
     |      :param force: If force is True, create a snapshot even if the volume is
     |      attached to an instance. Default is False.
     |      :param display_name: Name of the snapshot
     |      :param display_description: Description of the snapshot
     |      :rtype: :class:`Snapshot`
     |  
     |  delete(self, snapshot)
     |      Delete a snapshot.
     |      
     |  get(self, snapshot_id)
     |      Get a snapshot.
     |      
     |  list(self, detailed=True, search_opts=None)
     |      Get a list of all snapshots.
     |      
     |  update(self, snapshot, **kwargs)
     |      Update the display_name or display_description for a snapshot.
     |      
     |  find(self, **kwargs)
     |      Find a single item with attributes matching ``**kwargs``.
     |  
     |  findall(self, **kwargs)
     |      Find all items with attributes matching ``**kwargs``.

こちらは、snapshotオブジェクトの主要メソッド。

     |  delete(self)
     |      Delete this snapshot.
     |

     |      Update the display_name or display_description for this snapshot.

そして、snapshotオブジェクトのアトリビュート一覧。volume_idからベースボリュームのIDが分かります。

Nova Client

そしていよいよ、大物のNovaです。

が、あまりにもメソッドが多くて書き出すと大変なので、また、そろそろ使い方の雰囲気も分かってきたと思いますので、下記のpydocを参照ください。

# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.servers
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.flavors
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.floating_ips
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.security_groups
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.security_group_rules
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.keypairs
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.images
# pydoc novaclient.v1_1.networks

ここでは、サンプルコードで実例を示しておきます。下記は、インスタンスを起動した後、ブロックボリュームを作成してアタッチして、さらにフローティングIPを割り当てています。イメージ「cirros」と仮想ネットワーク「private01」と鍵ペア「mykey」が事前に用意されている前提です。

launch_vm.py

#!/usr/bin/python
from clients import nova, glance, cinder
import time

image = nova.images.find(name='cirros')
flavor = nova.flavors.find(name='m1.tiny')
net = nova.networks.find(label='private01')
instance = nova.servers.create(
    name="vm01", image=image, flavor=flavor,
    key_name="mykey", nics=[{'net-id':net.id}])
volume = cinder.volumes.create(size=1, display_name='volume01')

while instance.status == 'BUILD':
    print "Waiting status to be active."
    time.sleep(10)
    instance = nova.servers.get(instance.id)

while volume.status == 'creating':
    time.sleep(1)
    volume = cinder.volumes.get(volume.id)

nova.volumes.create_server_volume(instance.id, volume.id, '/dev/vdb')

for floating_ip in nova.floating_ips.list():
    if floating_ip.instance_id == None:
        instance.add_floating_ip(floating_ip)
        print "Floating IP: %s" % floating_ip.ip
        break

仮想マシンインスタンスを起動する際に、カスタマイズスクリプト(Userdata)を送り込むことも可能です。次のように、引数「userdata」にファイルディスクリプタを渡します。

with open('/tmp/userdata.txt') as userdata_file:
    instance = nova.servers.create(
        name="vm01", image=image, flavor=flavor,
        key_name="mykey", security_groups=['default','group01'],
        nics=[{'net-id':net.id}], userdata=userdata_file)
