The `cloudservers` Python API¶

Usage¶

First create an instance of CloudServers with your credentials:

>>> from cloudservers import CloudServers
>>> cloudservers = CloudServers(USERNAME, API_KEY)

Then call methods on the CloudServers object:

class cloudservers.CloudServers¶

backup_schedules¶: A BackupScheduleManager – manage automatic backup images.

flavors¶: A FlavorManager – query available “flavors” (hardware configurations).

images¶: An ImageManager – query and create server disk images.

ipgroups¶: A IPGroupManager – manage shared public IP addresses.

servers¶: A ServerManager – start, stop, and manage virtual machines.

For example:

>>> cloudservers.servers.list()
[<Server: buildslave-ubuntu-9.10>]

>>> cloudservers.flavors.list()
[<Flavor: 256 server>,
 <Flavor: 512 server>,
 <Flavor: 1GB server>,
 <Flavor: 2GB server>,
 <Flavor: 4GB server>,
 <Flavor: 8GB server>,
 <Flavor: 15.5GB server>]

>>> fl = cloudservers.flavors.find(ram=512)
>>> cloudservers.servers.create("my-server", flavor=fl)
<Server: my-server>
