OpenStack Command-line Client
Project description
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Volume APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclient
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options and supported commands is shown with --help:
openstack --help
There is also a help command that can be used to get help text for a specific command:
openstack help openstack help server create
Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity> export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name> export OS_USERNAME=<username> export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url> --os-project-name <project-name> --os-username <username> [--os-password <password>]
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:
export OS_TOKEN=<token> export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-token <token> --os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
