This is a client for OpenStack Nova API. There's :doc:`a Python API
|
2011-02-26 05:04:40 -04:00
|
|
|
<api>` (the :mod:`novaclient` module), and a :doc:`command-line script
|
2011-02-24 13:54:10 -04:00
|
|
|
<shell>` (installed as :program:`nova`). Each implements the entire
|
2011-02-08 09:27:22 -04:00
|
|
|
OpenStack Nova API.

You may want to read `Rackspace's API guide`__ (PDF) -- the first bit, at
|
|
|
|
least -- to get an idea of the concepts. Rackspace is doing the cloud
|
|
|
|
hosting thing a bit differently from Amazon, and if you get the concepts
|
|
|
|
this library should make more sense.
