To answer your other question about neutron: I use "quantum_floating_ip" to assign IPs on Openstack.
It would be very useful if these API calls could also be parallelized. I imagine a lot more time would be spent on 100 serial API calls than doing them in parallel. -Kurt On Monday, July 14, 2014 10:16:13 AM UTC-4, Kurt Yoder wrote: > > There's an undocumented min_count and max_count option in > python-novaclient ServerManager.create() which looks like what you want [1]. > > -Kurt > > > [1] > https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient/blob/cc7364067f995bd952149cd172cebf083fe4dc99/novaclient/v3/servers.py#L427 > > > On Friday, July 11, 2014 9:50:10 PM UTC-4, Michael DeHaan wrote: >> >> "So should I make a custom module which loops over nova_compute >> asynchronously, and also assigns floating IPs?" >> >> I'd first rather know where the openstack API allows simultaneous >> creation of N virtual machines of the same image type. >> >> I expect the floating IP stuff is fast and a usual with_items loop isn't >> a problem there, once those guests exist. >> >> (Using neutron, I assume?) >> >> >> On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 6:54 PM, Kurt Yoder <kyo...@data-tactics.com> >> wrote: >> >>> So should I make a custom module which loops over nova_compute >>> asynchronously, and also assigns floating IPs? >>> >>> Would such a module be useful to the wider community, or is it too >>> specialized to contribute back? >>> >>> On Friday, July 11, 2014 6:34:47 PM UTC-4, Michael DeHaan wrote: >>> >>>> So some of the provisioning modules, like AWS in particular, support >>>> spinning up "N" modules at a time by passing "count" or "exact_count". >>>> >>>> Rackspace I believe does this with manual looping (for now), but I >>>> could be wrong and that might have just been historical truth. >>>> >>>> If the OpenStack API says we can launch 10 at once, it could be made to >>>> do similar things. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 5:28 PM, Kurt Yoder <kyo...@data-tactics.com> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>>> I guess that error is because I put a "with_items" in there. >>>>> >>>>> How does everyone else do this?
