Connector IaaS

IaaS deployment

IaaS deployment is a solution which enables to use any provider. It improves flexibility and reduces the provider dependencies by giving the migration very easily to do from one provider to another. The multi-IaaS connector enables to do CRUD operations on different infrastructures on public or private Cloud (AWS EC2, Openstack, VMWare, Docker, etc). It is connected with those infrastructure interfaces in order to manage the virtual machines lifecycle.

##Build and run

On linux, in the root project directory,

Building the project

     $ ./gradlew

Running the application

    $ ./gradlew run

Manage infrastructures

List supported infrastructures

    $ curl -k -X GET http://{IP_ADDRESS}/infrastructures

Save an infrastructure

Generic information for saving an infrastructure are :

id: the name of the given infrastructure in order to identify it
type: the type is cloud nature or the hypervisor used (openstack-nova, aws-ec2, vmware, etc.)
endpoint: the reference to the interface which manage the infrastructure
credentials: the information which enables to connect

Openstack

For openstack, credentials information are made of the login and the password.

For saving an openstack infrastructure (in JSON), the information are :

{
  "id": "OPENSTACK_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID",
  "type": "openstack-nova",
  "endpoint": "http://IP_ADDRESS:5000/v2.0/",
  "credentials": {
    "username": "NAME:LOGIN",
    "password": "PWD"
  }
}

The curl command for save this infrastructure with the IaaS connector is :

    $ curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id": "OPENSTACK_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID","type": "openstack-nova","endPoint": "http://IP_ADDRESS:5000/v2.0/", "credentials": { "username": "NAME:LOGIN", "password": "PWD" }}' http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures

VMware

For saving a VMware infrastructure (in JSON), the information are :

{
  "id": "VMWARE_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID",
  "type": "vmware",
  "endpoint": "https://IP_ADDRESS/sdk",
  "credentials": {
    "username": "NAME",
    "password": "PWD"
  }
}

    $ curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id": "VMWARE_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID","type": "vmware","endPoint": "https://IP_ADDRESS/sdk", "credentials": { "username": "NAME", "password": "PWD" }}' http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures

AWS-EC2

An infrastructure AWS-EC2 needs to have an AWS account. Once the account is created, the user will have an AWS-key (used as a login) and a AWS-secret-key (used as a password). Unlike Openstack, VMware, the AWS-EC2 infrastructure creation doesn’t need to reference to the interface which enables to manage the infrastructure (ip adress and port).

For saving a EC2 infrastructure (in JSON), the information are :

{
  "id": "AWS_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID",
  "type": "aws-ec2",
  "credentials": {
    "username": "NAME",
    "password": "PWD"
  }
}

   $ curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id": "AWS_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID","type": "aws-ec2","credentials": { "username": "NAME", "password": "PWD" }}' http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures

Update a supported infrastructure

An infrastructure can be updated by posting the same infrastructure (same id) with the changes.

   $ curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id":"AWS_INFRASTRUCTURE_ID","type": "aws-ec2","credentials": { "username": "NAME", "password": "PWD" }}' http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures

Delete a supported infrastructure

An infrastructure can be deleted by giving the id in the following command :

   $ curl -X DELETE http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures/INFRASTRUCTURE_ID

List the images supported by the infrastructure

    $ curl -k -X GET http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures/INFRASTRUCTURE_ID/images

Manage the lifecycle of virtual machines

Once the infrastructure is saved, the virtual machines can be managed.

Create an instance

The generic information for creating one or several instances are :

tag: the instance name for identifying them
image: the image to use
number: the number of instances to deploy
hardware: the information related to the ram or the cpu

{
 "tag": "TAG",
 "image": "IMAGE",
 "number": "1",
 "hardware": {
   "minRam": "1024",
   "minCores" : "1"
 }
}

    $ curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"tag":"TAG","image":"IMAGE","number":"1","minCores":"1","minRam":"1024"}' http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures/INFRASTRUCTURE_ID/instances

List an infrastructure instances

    $ curl -k -X GET http://IP_ADDRESS:9080/infrastructures/INFRASTRUCTURE_ID/instances
