Since version 0.14, Synnefo supports a single authentication URL for retrieving
32 32
all API endpoints. This URL is retrieved from the Synnefo Web UI and should be
33 33
set as the cloud URL for kamaki. All service-specific URLs are retrieved and
34
handled automatically by kamaki, through this URL. Users of Synnefo clouds
35
>=0.14 are advised against using any service-specific URLs.

Existing kamaki users should convert their configuration files to v9. To do

that, kamaki 0.9 can inspect the configuration file and suggests a list of
49
config file transformations, which are performed automatically (after users'
50
permission). This mechanism is invoked when an API-related kamaki command is
51
fired. On example 2.1 we suggest using the `user authenticate` command to fire

* `global.data_log` option has never been a valid kamaki config option.

    In this example, the user accidentally misspelled the term `log_data`
93
    (which is a valid kamaki config option) as `data_log`. To fix this, the

    user should set the correct option after the conversion is complete
95
    (Example 2.2).
92
    In this scenario, the user wanted to set the `log_data` option, but he or

    she typed `data_log` instead. To fix this, the user should manually set the

    correct option after the conversion is complete (Example 2.2).

122
be called **a cloud**.
125 123

  
126
Kamaki supports accessing multiple clouds from the same kamaki setup. Before
127
kamaki 0.9, this was possible only by using multiple config files. Since 0.9,
128
kamaki supports multiple clouds in the same configuration.
129

  
130
Each cloud corresponds to a Synnefo (or Open Stack) cloud deployment.
131
Since Synnefo version 0.14, each deployment offers a single point of
132
authentication, as an **authentication URL** and **token** pair. Users can
133
retrieve this information through the cloud UI.
124
Multiple clouds can be configured and manager in a single  kamaki setup, since
125
version 0.9. Each cloud corresponds to a Synnefo (or Open Stack) cloud
126
deployment, with each deployment offering a single point of authentication (an
127
**authentication URL** and **token** pair). Users can retrieve this information
128
through the cloud UI.
134 129

  
135 130
Once a user has retrieved one URL/token pair per cloud, it is time to assign a
136
name to each cloud and let kamaki know about them.

name to each cloud and configure kamaki accordingly.

For example, let the user have access to two clouds with the following authentication information ::

Editing the configuration file
351 368
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
352 369

  
353 370
The configuration file is a simple text file that can be created by the user.
354 371

  
355
.. note:: users of kamaki < 0.9 can use kamaki 0.9.X to automatically convert
356
    their old configuration files to the new config file version (>= 3.0). To
357
    do this, follow `these instructions <#migrating-from-kamaki-0-8-x-to-0-9>`_
372
.. note:: users of kamaki < 0.9 can use the latest versions to automatically
373
    convert their old configuration files to the new configuration file(s).
374
    See `these instructions <#migrating-from-kamaki-0-8-x-to-0-9-or-better>`_
375
    for more.
358 376

  
359 377
A simple way to create the configuration file is to set a configuration option
360 378
using the kamaki config command. For example:
......
378 396
    url =
379 397
    token =
380 398

  
381
A bunch of configuration options are created and set to their default options,
382
except the log_file option which is set to whatever the specified value.
383

  
384
The [cloud "default"] section is special and is used to configure the default
385
cloud cloud. Kamaki will not be able to run without setting the url and token
386
values to that section.
399
In this scenario, a bunch of configuration options are created and set to their
400
default options, except the log_file option which is set to whatever the
401
specified value.
387 402

  
388
More clouds can be created  on the side of the default cloud, e.g., using the
389
examples at the `multiple clouds guide <#multiple-clouds>`_ ::
390

  
391
    [cloud "devel"]
392
    url = https://devel.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/
393
    token = myd3v3170k3n==
394

  
395
    [cloud "testing"]
396
    url = https://testing.example.com/astakos/identity/v2.0/
397
    token = my73571ng70k3n==
403
The *[cloud "default"]* section is special and is used to configure the default
404
cloud. Kamaki will not be able to do anything useful without proper url and
405
token values set in the cloud section.

Kamaki contains a set of functional tests for *kamaki.clients*, called
466
"livetest". The term "live" means that the tests are performed against an
467
on-line functional cloud deployment. The package is accessible as
468
*kamaki.clients.livetest* .
458 469

  
459
The livetest suite can be activated with the following option on the configuration file::
470
The livetest commands can be activated by setting the following option in the
471
configuration file::
460 472

  
461 473
    [global]
462 474
    livetest_cli=livetest
463 475

  
464 476
or with this kamaki command::
465 477

  
466
    kamaki config set livetest_cli livetest
478
    $ kamaki config set livetest_cli livetest
467 479

  
468
In most tests, livetest will run as long as the default cloud is configured
469
correctly. Some commands, though, need some extra settings related to the cloud
470
the test is performed against, or the example files used in kamaki.
480
In most cases, it is enough to have the default cloud configured correctly.
481
Some commands, though, require some extra settings specific to actual contents
482
of the cloud or the example files used in kamaki.

Shell vs one-command

Kamaki users can access Synnefo services through either the interactive shell

or the one-command behaviors. In practice, both systems rely on the same
37
or the one-command interface. In practice, both systems rely on the same

command set implementations and API clients, with identical responses and error

An example (4.3.1) that showcases how top-level access improves user experience
562
is the creation of a VM. A VM is created with the command server-create. This
563
is the creation of a server. A server is created with the command server-create. This
563 564
command is called with three parameters:
564 565

  
565
* the name of the new VM
566
* the name of the new server
566 567
* the flavor id
567 568
* the image id

It is often the case that a user who works in the context command, needs to

create a new VM, but hasn't selected a flavor or an image id, or cannot recall
571
create a new server, but hasn't selected a flavor or an image id, or cannot recall
571 572
the id of that flavor or image. Therefore, it is necessary to list all
572 573
available flavors (flavor-list) or images (image-compute-list). Both commands
573 574
belong to different contexts.
