The example was showing how to use the `files` option to pass in a local file as an authorized public key for root. While this works, it's a bit sloppy, given that there's a specific option, `key_name` which will use one of your public keys on your rackspace account and add it as an authorized key for root. In our case, one of our admins didn't notice the `key_name` option because they scrolled straight to the example and saw the `files` strategy.
I propose that the example still shows `files`, but not using a root public key as an example, and instead also demonstrate the `key_name` option so that it's clear from the example how to get the initial root public key deployed.
* Catch issues with invalid regions
* Ensure we send string only data as meta values in the rax module
* Add public_key/lookup example for rax_keypair
* Clean up import statements
Add extra_create_args and extra_client_args to rax module to support passing
advanced configuration options to client instantiation and server create calls.
cs.images.find(human_id= throws novaclient.exceptions.NotFound,
resulting in the try/except block with
image = cs.images.find(name=image) being skipped. catching
novaclient.exception.NotFound allows images to be specified with the
human readable name.
Example:
tasks:
- name: Server build request
local_action:
module: rax
region: DFW
image: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)
Also, the import is placed after try: import pyrax, because pyrax
imports novaclient and should fail if novaclient is missing.
Add support to existing rax module to honor the wait (and wait_timeout)
parameters on delete operations. This patch removes existing logic in favor of
the built-in pyrax.utils.wait_until method.
Both modules dealing with rax resources should use the same arguments
and environmental variables. The author of rax_clb_nodes did some things
better so sync rax with that effort.
Migrated all examples: in DOCUMENTATION=''' string to standalone EXAMPLES=''' string
Added deprecation warning to moduledev.rst and remove deprecated example from it
Fixed up a few typos and uppercased some acronyms.
add consistency to how EXAMPLES are formatted
