==============================
Getting Started With SoftLayer
==============================
SoftLayer is a public cloud host, and baremetal hardware hosting service.
Dependencies
============
The SoftLayer driver for Salt Cloud requires the softlayer package, which is
available at PyPI:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SoftLayer
This package can be installed using ``pip`` or ``easy_install``:
.. code-block:: bash
# pip install softlayer
# easy_install softlayer
Configuration
=============
Set up the cloud config at ``/etc/salt/cloud.providers``:
.. code-block:: yaml
# Note: These examples are for /etc/salt/cloud.providers
my-softlayer:
# Set up the location of the salt master
minion:
master: saltmaster.example.com
# Set the SoftLayer access credentials (see below)
user: MYUSER1138
apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'
driver: softlayer
my-softlayer-hw:
# Set up the location of the salt master
minion:
master: saltmaster.example.com
# Set the SoftLayer access credentials (see below)
user: MYUSER1138
apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'
driver: softlayer_hw
.. note::
.. versionchanged:: 2015.8.0
The ``provider`` parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to ``driver``. This
change was made to avoid confusion with the ``provider`` parameter that is used in cloud profile
definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use ``driver`` to refer to the Salt cloud module that
provides the underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue
to use ``provider`` to refer to provider configurations that you define.
Access Credentials
==================
The ``user`` setting is the same user as is used to log into the SoftLayer
Administration area. The ``apikey`` setting is found inside the Admin area after
logging in:
* Hover over the ``Account`` menu item.
* Click the ``Users`` link.
* Find the ``API Key`` column and click ``View``.
Profiles
========
Cloud Profiles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles``:
.. code-block:: yaml
base_softlayer_ubuntu:
provider: my-softlayer
image: UBUNTU_LATEST
cpu_number: 1
ram: 1024
disk_size: 100
local_disk: True
hourly_billing: True
domain: example.com
location: sjc01
# Optional
max_net_speed: 1000
private_vlan: 396
private_network: True
private_ssh: True
# Use a dedicated host instead of cloud
dedicated_host_id: 1234
# May be used _instead_of_ image
global_identifier: 320d8be5-46c0-dead-cafe-13e3c51
Most of the above items are required; optional items are specified below.
image
-----
Images to build an instance can be found using the ``--list-images`` option:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud --list-images my-softlayer
The setting used will be labeled as ``template``.
cpu_number
----------
This is the number of CPU cores that will be used for this instance. This
number may be dependent upon the image that is used. For instance:
.. code-block:: yaml
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (1 - 4 Core):
----------
name:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (1 - 4 Core)
template:
REDHAT_6_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (5 - 100 Core):
----------
name:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (5 - 100 Core)
template:
REDHAT_6_64
Note that the template (meaning, the `image` option) for both of these is the
same, but the names suggests how many CPU cores are supported.
ram
---
This is the amount of memory, in megabytes, that will be allocated to this
instance.
disk_size
---------
The amount of disk space that will be allocated to this image, in gigabytes.
.. code-block:: yaml
base_softlayer_ubuntu:
disk_size: 100
Using Multiple Disks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2015.8.1
SoftLayer allows up to 5 disks to be specified for a virtual machine upon
creation. Multiple disks can be specified either as a list or a comma-delimited
string. The first ``disk_size`` specified in the string or list will be the first
disk size assigned to the VM.
List Example:
.. code-block:: yaml
base_softlayer_ubuntu:
disk_size: ['100', '20', '20']
String Example:
.. code-block:: yaml
base_softlayer_ubuntu:
disk_size: '100, 20, 20'
local_disk
----------
When true the disks for the computing instance will be provisioned on the host
which it runs, otherwise SAN disks will be provisioned.
hourly_billing
--------------
When true the computing instance will be billed on hourly usage, otherwise it
will be billed on a monthly basis.
domain
------
The domain name that will be used in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for
this instance. The `domain` setting will be used in conjunction with the
instance name to form the FQDN.
use_fqdn
--------
If set to True, the Minion will be identified by the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain
Name) which is a result of combining the ``domain`` configuration value and the
Minion name specified either via the CLI or a map file rather than only using the
short host name, or Minion ID. Default is False.
.. versionadded:: 2016.3.0
For example, if the value of ``domain`` is ``example.com`` and a new VM was created
via the CLI with ``salt-cloud -p base_softlayer_ubuntu my-vm``, the resulting
Minion ID would be ``my-vm.example.com``.
.. note::
When enabling the ``use_fqdn`` setting, the Minion ID will be the FQDN and will
interact with salt commands with the FQDN instead of the short hostname. However,
due to the way the SoftLayer API is constructed, some Salt Cloud functions such
as listing nodes or destroying VMs will only list the short hostname of the VM
instead of the FQDN.
Example output displaying the SoftLayer hostname quirk mentioned in the note above
(note the Minion ID is ``my-vm.example.com``, but the VM to be destroyed is listed
with its short hostname, ``my-vm``):
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-key -L
Accepted Keys:
my-vm.example.com
Denied Keys:
Unaccepted Keys:
Rejected Keys:
#
#
# salt my-vm.example.com test.ping
my-vm.example.com:
True
#
#
# salt-cloud -d my-vm.example.com
[INFO ] salt-cloud starting
[INFO ] POST https://api.softlayer.com/xmlrpc/v3.1/SoftLayer_Account
The following virtual machines are set to be destroyed:
softlayer-config:
softlayer:
my-vm
Proceed? [N/y] y
... proceeding
[INFO ] Destroying in non-parallel mode.
[INFO ] POST https://api.softlayer.com/xmlrpc/v3.1/SoftLayer_Account
[INFO ] POST https://api.softlayer.com/xmlrpc/v3.1/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest
softlayer-config:
----------
softlayer:
----------
my-vm:
True
location
--------
Images to build an instance can be found using the `--list-locations` option:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud --list-location my-softlayer
max_net_speed
-------------
Specifies the connection speed for the instance's network components. This
setting is optional. By default, this is set to 10.
post_uri
--------
Specifies the uri location of the script to be downloaded and run after the instance
is provisioned.
.. versionadded:: 2015.8.1
Example:
.. code-block:: yaml
base_softlayer_ubuntu:
post_uri: 'https://SOMESERVERIP:8000/myscript.sh'
public_vlan
-----------
If it is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific frontend
VLAN, the ID for that VLAN can be specified in either the provider or profile
configuration.
This ID can be queried using the `list_vlans` function, as described below. This
setting is optional.
If this setting is set to `None`, salt-cloud will connect to the private ip of
the server.
.. note::
If this setting is not provided and the server is not built with a public
vlan, `private_ssh` or `private_wds` will need to be set to make sure that
salt-cloud attempts to connect to the private ip.
private_vlan
------------
If it is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific backend VLAN,
the ID for that VLAN can be specified in either the provider or profile
configuration.
This ID can be queried using the `list_vlans` function, as described below. This
setting is optional.
private_network
---------------
If a server is to only be used internally, meaning it does not have a public
VLAN associated with it, this value would be set to True. This setting is
optional. The default is False.
private_ssh or private_wds
--------------------------
Whether to run the deploy script on the server using the public IP address
or the private IP address. If set to True, Salt Cloud will attempt to SSH or
WinRM into the new server using the private IP address. The default is False.
This settiong is optional.
global_identifier
-----------------
When creating an instance using a custom template, this option is set to the
corresponding value obtained using the `list_custom_images` function. This
option will not be used if an `image` is set, and if an `image` is not set, it
is required.
The profile can be realized now with a salt command:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud -p base_softlayer_ubuntu myserver
Using the above configuration, this will create `myserver.example.com`.
Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to
it can be verified with Salt:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt 'myserver.example.com' test.ping
Dedicated Host
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soflayer allows the creation of new VMs in a dedicated host. This means that
you can order and pay a fixed amount for a bare metal dedicated host and use
it to provision as many VMs as you can fit in there. If you want your VMs to
be launched in a dedicated host, instead of Sofltayer's cloud, set the
``dedicated_host_id`` parameter in your profile.
dedicated_host_id
-----------------
The id of the dedicated host where the VMs should be created. If not set, VMs
will be created in Softlayer's cloud instead.
Bare metal Profiles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles``:
.. code-block:: yaml
base_softlayer_hw_centos:
provider: my-softlayer-hw
# CentOS 6.0 - Minimal Install (64 bit)
image: 13963
# 2 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance - 2 GB Ram
size: 1921
# 500GB SATA II
hdd: 1267
# San Jose 01
location: 168642
domain: example.com
# Optional
vlan: 396
port_speed: 273
banwidth: 248
Most of the above items are required; optional items are specified below.
image
-----
Images to build an instance can be found using the `--list-images` option:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud --list-images my-softlayer-hw
A list of `id`s and names will be provided. The `name` will describe the
operating system and architecture. The `id` will be the setting to be used in
the profile.
size
----
Sizes to build an instance can be found using the `--list-sizes` option:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud --list-sizes my-softlayer-hw
A list of `id`s and names will be provided. The `name` will describe the speed
and quantity of CPU cores, and the amount of memory that the hardware will
contain. The `id` will be the setting to be used in the profile.
hdd
---
There is currently only one size of hard disk drive (HDD) that is available for
hardware instances on SoftLayer:
.. code-block:: yaml
1267: 500GB SATA II
The `hdd` setting in the profile should be 1267. Other sizes may be
added in the future.
location
--------
Locations to build an instance can be found using the `--list-images` option:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud --list-locations my-softlayer-hw
A list of IDs and names will be provided. The `location` will describe the
location in human terms. The `id` will be the setting to be used in the profile.
domain
------
The domain name that will be used in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for
this instance. The `domain` setting will be used in conjunction with the
instance name to form the FQDN.
vlan
----
If it is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific VLAN, the ID
for that VLAN can be specified in either the provider or profile configuration.
This ID can be queried using the `list_vlans` function, as described below.
port_speed
----------
Specifies the speed for the instance's network port. This setting refers to an
ID within the SoftLayer API, which sets the port speed. This setting is
optional. The default is 273, or, 100 Mbps Public & Private Networks. The
following settings are available:
* 273: 100 Mbps Public & Private Networks
* 274: 1 Gbps Public & Private Networks
* 21509: 10 Mbps Dual Public & Private Networks (up to 20 Mbps)
* 21513: 100 Mbps Dual Public & Private Networks (up to 200 Mbps)
* 2314: 1 Gbps Dual Public & Private Networks (up to 2 Gbps)
* 272: 10 Mbps Public & Private Networks
bandwidth
---------
Specifies the network bandwidth available for the instance. This setting refers
to an ID within the SoftLayer API, which sets the bandwidth. This setting is
optional. The default is 248, or, 5000 GB Bandwidth. The following settings are
available:
* 248: 5000 GB Bandwidth
* 129: 6000 GB Bandwidth
* 130: 8000 GB Bandwidth
* 131: 10000 GB Bandwidth
* 36: Unlimited Bandwidth (10 Mbps Uplink)
* 125: Unlimited Bandwidth (100 Mbps Uplink)
Actions
=======
The following actions are currently supported by the SoftLayer Salt Cloud
driver.
show_instance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This action is a thin wrapper around `--full-query`, which displays details on a
single instance only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a
user from having to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single
instance.
.. code-block:: bash
$ salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance
Functions
=========
The following functions are currently supported by the SoftLayer Salt Cloud
driver.
list_vlans
~~~~~~~~~~
This function lists all VLANs associated with the account, and all known data
from the SoftLayer API concerning those VLANs.
.. code-block:: bash
$ salt-cloud -f list_vlans my-softlayer
$ salt-cloud -f list_vlans my-softlayer-hw
The `id` returned in this list is necessary for the `vlan` option when creating
an instance.
list_custom_images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This function lists any custom templates associated with the account, that can
be used to create a new instance.
.. code-block:: bash
$ salt-cloud -f list_custom_images my-softlayer
The `globalIdentifier` returned in this list is necessary for the
`global_identifier` option when creating an image using a custom template.
Optional Products for SoftLayer HW
==================================
The softlayer_hw driver supports the ability to add optional products, which
are supported by SoftLayer's API. These products each have an ID associated with
them, that can be passed into Salt Cloud with the `optional_products` option:
.. code-block:: yaml
softlayer_hw_test:
provider: my-softlayer-hw
# CentOS 6.0 - Minimal Install (64 bit)
image: 13963
# 2 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance - 2 GB Ram
size: 1921
# 500GB SATA II
hdd: 1267
# San Jose 01
location: 168642
domain: example.com
optional_products:
# MySQL for Linux
- id: 28
# Business Continuance Insurance
- id: 104
These values can be manually obtained by looking at the source of an order page
on the SoftLayer web interface. For convenience, many of these values are listed
