=========================================
Getting Started With Dimension Data Cloud
=========================================
Dimension Data are a global IT Services company and form part of the NTT Group.
Dimension Data provide IT-as-a-Service to customers around the globe on their
cloud platform (Compute as a Service). The CaaS service is available either on
one of the public cloud instances or as a private instance on premises.
http://cloud.dimensiondata.com/
CaaS has its own non-standard `API`_ , SaltStack provides a
wrapper on top of this `API`_ with common methods with other IaaS solutions and
Public cloud providers. Therefore, you can use use the Dimension Data
module to communicate with both the public and private clouds.
Dependencies
============
This driver requires the Python ``apache-libcloud`` and ``netaddr`` library to be installed.
Configuration
=============
When you instantiate a driver you need to pass the following arguments to the
driver constructor:
* ``user_id`` - Your Dimension Data Cloud username
* ``key`` - Your Dimension Data Cloud password
* ``region`` - The region key, one of the possible region keys
Possible regions:
* ``dd-na`` : Dimension Data North America (USA)
* ``dd-eu`` : Dimension Data Europe
* ``dd-af`` : Dimension Data Africa
* ``dd-au`` : Dimension Data Australia
* ``dd-latam`` : Dimension Data Latin America
* ``dd-ap`` : Dimension Data Asia Pacific
* ``dd-canada`` : Dimension Data Canada region
.. code-block:: yaml
# Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
# /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.
my-dimensiondata-config:
user_id: my_username
key: myPassword!
region: dd-na
driver: dimensiondata
.. 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.
Profiles
========
Cloud Profiles

Dimension Data images have an inbuilt size configuration, there is no list of sizes (although, if the
command --list-sizes is run a default will be returned).
Images can be obtained using the ``--list-images`` option for the ``salt-cloud``
command:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud --list-images my-dimensiondata-config
