Release notes for 0.36

General

You can download OpenNebula module with the following command:

bash # rexify --use Rex::Cloud::OpenNebula

  use strict;
use warnings;

use Rex::Commands::Cloud;
use Rex::Cloud::OpenNebula;
use Data::Dumper;

user "root";

cloud_service "OpenNebula";
cloud_auth "oneadmin", "opennebula";
cloud_region "http://172.16.120.131:2633/RPC2";

task "list-os", sub {
    print Dumper get_cloud_operating_systems;
};

task "create", sub {
    my $params = shift;
    my $vm     = cloud_instance create => {
        image => "template-1",
        name  => $params->{name},
    };

    print Dumper($vm);
};

task "start", sub {
    my $params = shift;
    cloud_instance start => $params->{name};
};

task "stop", sub {
    my $params = shift;
    cloud_instance stop => $params->{name};
};

task "terminate", sub {
    my $params = shift;
    cloud_instance terminate => $params->{name};
};

task "list", sub {
    print Dumper cloud_instance_list;
};

With this function you can run a specific task on a given host and get the output as a return value.

task "prepare", "server5", sub {

    # do something
    my $free_mem = run_task "get_free_mem", on => "server3";
    if ( $free_mem < 100 ) {
        say "Less than 100 MB free mem on server3";

        # create a new server instance on server5 to unload server3
    }
};

task "get_free_mem", sub {
    return memory->{free};
};
