Python driver

Apache Libcloud ( http://libcloud.apache.org/) driver will allow you to interact with snooze from a python script.

You need the code of the apache-libcloud project :

git clone https://github.com/apache/libcloud.git
git checkout 0.12.1

Next, install the specific files for Snooze driver from : https://github.com/msimonin/snooze-libcloud

You need to add three files :

libcloud/compute/providers.py
libcloud/compute/drivers/snooze.py
libcloud/compute/types.py

Use it

You can copy/paste the following code in the python interpreter or in a script file.

• First you need to import the requires libraries.

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

• Next, connect to the driver. Depending on your configuration pass one bootstrap address to the driver, here we assume that a bootstrap is listenning on “127.0.0.1:5000″.

Snooze = get_driver(Provider.SNOOZE)
driver = Snooze("127.0.0.1","5000")

Now you are ready to create a virtual machine and check its state.

n1 = driver.create_node(libvirt_templates=["vmtemplate.xml"], tx=12800, rx=12800)
print "VM %s status %s"%(n1.name,n1.state)
