===========================
Getting Started With Joyent
===========================

Joyent is a public cloud provider supporting SmartOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and
Windows.


Dependencies
============
This driver requires the Python ``requests`` library to be installed.


Configuration
=============
The Joyent cloud requires three configuration parameters. The user name and
password that are used to log into the Joyent system, and the location of the
private ssh key associated with the Joyent account. The ssh key is needed to
send the provisioning commands up to the freshly created virtual machine.

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
    # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

    my-joyent-config:
        provider: joyent
        user: fred
        password: saltybacon
        private_key: /root/joyent.pem


Profiles
========

Cloud Profiles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles`` or in the
``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/`` directory:

.. code-block:: yaml

    joyent_512
      provider: my-joyent-config
      size: Extra Small 512 MB
      image: Arch Linux 2013.06

Sizes can be obtained using the ``--list-sizes`` option for the ``salt-cloud``
command:

.. code-block:: bash

    # salt-cloud --list-sizes my-joyent-config
    my-joyent-config:
        ----------
        joyent:
            ----------
            Extra Small 512 MB:
                ----------
                default:
                    false
                disk:
                    15360
                id:
                    Extra Small 512 MB
                memory:
                    512
                name:
                    Extra Small 512 MB
                swap:
                    1024
                vcpus:
                    1
    ...SNIP...

Images can be obtained using the ``--list-images`` option for the ``salt-cloud``
command:
