[Feature] Add openstack provider
Adding openstack provider will allow us to use great providers like OVH providing instances starting à 0,008€/hour.
I can work on it, submitting a PR on inletsctl.
Expected Behaviour
Adding the --provider openstack flag should provision a new instance on an openstack provider.
Current Behaviour
We can't provision an instance on providers using OpenStack.
Possible Solution
Using gophercloud: https://github.com/gophercloud/gophercloud And adding the following flags:
- openstack-endpoint
- openstack-username
- openstack-password
Interesting suggestion, I'd like to know more. Do all providers expose openstack directly? I don't think that Civo does that, they wrap it with a ruby REST API.
Are all instance names and images the same between every openstack deployment?
I'd think you may need more parameters, but I'm not an openstack expert.
Hi @alexellis! Sorry for the delay.
I don't know which provider exposes the OpenStack API. The only provider I know is OVH which exposes the OpenStack API. I think that instances types and images are different between providers. So you're right, I'll need more parameters.
I'm now working on EC2 provider, I'll start working on OpenStack after that. I think that I'll have more work to do as we will need to pass more parameters to the provider.
Hi @alexellis
I think that I can take inspiration from the terraform openstack provider.
There are many parameters: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-openstack/blob/master/openstack/provider.go
