Greetings,
There is a way to instantiate Windows based instances on IBM SCE. The trick
is to use ex_configurationData argument. You can bypass NodeAuthSSHKey
completely. I've tried it just now and it works. Tomaz I'm happy for this
to be included in the official libcloud docs. If Jira is needed let me
know...
Example:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver
Driver = get_driver(Provider.IBM)
conn = Driver("username", "password")
images = conn.list_images()
for i in images:
if i.id == '20014110':
win=i
locations=conn.list_locations()
for i in locations:
if i.id == '82':
location=i
size=conn.list_sizes()[2]
node = conn.create_node(name="windows box", image=win, size=size,
ex_configurationData={'UserName':'someone', 'Password':'My0wnPass'},
location=location)
conn.list_nodes()
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
