GeezerVison is showing docs.openstack.org — Interactive Mode — OpenStack Command Line Client 10.5.1.dev13 documentation Interactive Mode¶OpenStackClient has an interactive mode, similar to the virsh(1) or lvm(8) commands on Linux. This mode is useful for executing a series of commands without having to reload the CLI, or more importantly, without having to re-authenticate to the cloud. Enter interactive mode by issuing the openstack command with no
subcommand. An Authentication¶Authentication happens exactly as before, using the same global command line options and environment variables, except it only happens once. The credentials are cached and re-used for subsequent commands. This means that to work with multiple clouds interactive mode must be ended so a authentication to the second cloud can occur. Scripting¶Using interactive mode inside scripts sounds counter-intuitive, but the same
single-authentication benefit can be achieved by passing OSC commands to
the CLI via Sample session: # assume auth credentials are in the environment $ openstack (openstack) keypair list +--------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Name | Fingerprint | +--------+-------------------------------------------------+ | bunsen | a5:da:0c:52:e8:52:42:a3:4f:b8:22:62:7b:e4:e8:89 | | beaker | 45:9c:50:56:7c:fc:3a:b6:b5:60:02:2f:41:fb:a9:4c | +--------+-------------------------------------------------+ (openstack) image list +--------------------------------------+----------------+ | ID | Name | +--------------------------------------+----------------+ | 78b23835-c800-4d95-9d2a-e4de59a553d8 | OpenWRT r42884 | | 2e45d43a-7c25-45f1-b012-06ac313e2f6b | Fedora 20 | | de3a8396-3bae-42de-84bd-f4e398b8c320 | CirrOS | +--------------------------------------+----------------+ (openstack) flavor list +--------------------------------------+----------+--------+--------+-----------+------+-------+-------------+-----------+-------------+ | ID | Name | RAM | Disk | Ephemeral | Swap | VCPUs | RXTX Factor | Is Public | Extra Specs | +--------------------------------------+----------+--------+--------+-----------+------+-------+-------------+-----------+-------------+ | 12594680-56f7-4da2-8322-7266681b3070 | m1.small | 2048 | 20 | 0 | | 1 | | True | | | 9274f903-0cc7-4a95-9124-1968018e355d | m1.tiny | 512 | 5 | 0 | | 1 | | True | | +--------------------------------------+----------+--------+--------+-----------+------+-------+-------------+-----------+-------------+ (openstack) server create --image CirrOS --flavor m1.small --key-name beaker sample-server +-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | config_drive | | | created | 2014-11-19T18:08:41Z | | flavor | m1.small (12594680-56f7-4da2-8322-7266681b3070) | | id | 3a9a7f82-e902-4948-9245-52b045c76a1d | | image | CirrOS (de3a8396-3bae-42de-84bd-f4e398b8c320) | | key_name | bunsen | | name | sample-server | | progress | 0 | | properties | | | security_groups | [{u'name': u'default'}] | | status | BUILD | | tenant_id | 53c93c7952594d9ba16bd7072a165ce8 | | updated | 2014-11-19T18:08:42Z | | user_id | 1e4eea54c7124688a8092bec6e2dbee6 | +-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ A similar session can be issued all at once: $ openstack <<EOF > keypair list > flavor show m1.small > EOF (openstack) +--------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Name | Fingerprint | +--------+-------------------------------------------------+ | bunsen | a5:da:0c:52:e8:52:42:a3:4f:b8:22:62:7b:e4:e8:89 | | beaker | 45:9c:50:56:7c:fc:3a:b6:b5:60:02:2f:41:fb:a9:4c | +--------+-------------------------------------------------+ (openstack) +----------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +----------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | OS-FLV-DISABLED:disabled | False | | OS-FLV-EXT-DATA:ephemeral | 0 | | disk | 20 | | id | 12594680-56f7-4da2-8322-7266681b3070 | | name | m1.small | | os-flavor-access:is_public | True | | ram | 2048 | | swap | | | vcpus | 1 | +----------------------------+--------------------------------------+ Limitations¶The obvious limitations to Interactive Mode is that it is not a Domain Specific Language (DSL), just a simple command processor. That means there are no variables or flow control. this page last updated: 2017-06-13 15:55:33
