============================== Salt Cloud 0.7.0 Release Notes ============================== Salt Cloud marches forward with the 0.7.0 release. As is customary for Salt Stack projects the 0.7.0 release is intended to be much more robust and deliver a more complete core feature set. Salt Cloud 0.7.0 is just that. With new tools to help look into what is available on cloud providers, new additions to make cloud management more stateful and the addition of more supported cloud platforms 0.7.0 has greatly enhanced the capabilities of the overall Salt platform.

New Cloud Provider Support ========================== The following cloud providers are now supported: Amazon AWS http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ Rackspace Cloud http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/ Linode http://www.linode.com/ Joyent http://joyent.com/ GoGrid http://www.gogrid.com/ List Available Resources ======================== Setting up Salt Cloud requires knowlege of the available sizes and images on cloud providers. Listing the available images and sizes can now be done with the salt-cloud command: .. code-block:: bash [root@saltmaster]# salt-cloud --list-sizes linode linode Linode 1024 bandwidth: 400 disk: 40960 id: 3 name: Linode 1024 ram: 1024 uuid: 56e6f495190cb2ed1a343f7159ad447cf27d906d Linode 12GB bandwidth: 2000 disk: 491520 id: 8 name: Linode 12GB ram: 12288 uuid: 3d1731ebefdbcb4c283957b43d45f89a01f67c5f Linode 1536 bandwidth: 600 disk: 61440 id: 4 name: Linode 1536 ram: 1536 uuid: f0f28628cc70c5f2656aa3f313588d8509ee3787 Linode 16GB bandwidth: 2000 disk: 655360 id: 9 name: Linode 16GB ram: 16384 uuid: 208cc3c0a60c4eab6ed6861344fef0311c13ffd2 Linode 2048 bandwidth: 800 disk: 81920 id: 5 name: Linode 2048 ram: 2048 uuid: 0c9ee69dc7ef7a4cdce71963f8d18e76c61dd57f Linode 20GB bandwidth: 2000 disk: 819200 id: 10 name: Linode 20GB ram: 20480 uuid: e0a7b61e3830a120eec94459c9fc34ef7c9e0e36 Linode 4GB bandwidth: 1600 disk: 163840 id: 6 name: Linode 4GB ram: 4096 uuid: 09585e0f1d4ef4aad486cfa3d53f9d8960f575e7 Linode 512 bandwidth: 200 disk: 20480 id: 1 name: Linode 512 ram: 512 uuid: 3497f7def3d6081e6f65ac6e577296bc6b810c05 Linode 768 bandwidth: 300 disk: 30720 id: 2 name: Linode 768 ram: 768 uuid: da9f0dbc144aaa234aa5d555426863c8068a8c70 Linode 8GB bandwidth: 2000 disk: 327680 id: 7 name: Linode 8GB ram: 8192 uuid: e08f8a57551297b9310545430c67667f59120606 Destroy! ======== Salt Cloud can now destroy cloud vms as easily as it can create them. The new ``--destroy`` option can be passed to end the life of a vm: .. code-block:: bash $ salt-cloud -d web1 The map operation can now also destroy vms, the new ``hard`` option can be passed which makes vm maps much more stateful. With the ``hard`` option the vm maps are viewed as the absolute source of information for the state of cloud resources, and any vm that is not specified in the map file will be destroyed: .. code-block:: bash [root@saltmaster]# salt-cloud -m /etc/salt/cloud.map -H The following virtual machines are set to be created: web1 riak4 The following virtual machines are set to be destroyed: app7 devtest4 Proceed?
