Hi,

I tried to connect to CP cloud using boto, but could not.
Have any one tried it before

I could connect to HP cloud via Euca2ools.
================================
EC2_URL = https://az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com/services/Cloud
EC2_ACCESS_KEY = <tenant_id>:<access_key_id>
EC2_SECRET_KEY = <secret_key>

If i use boto, what should be the value of
endpoint : ??
port : ??
path : ??

I tried with following data, but not working.
endpoint :https://az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com
port : 8773
path : /services/Cloud

Thanks

Hi,

I could connect to HP colud with following settings. :) :)

region = boto.ec2.regioninfo.RegionInfo(name="az-1.region-a.geo-1",
endpoint="az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com")
conn = boto.connect_ec2(aws_access_key_id="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

aws_secret_access_key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                                is_secure=True,
                                region=region,
                                port=None,
                                path="/services/Cloud")

I think something like this should work:

import boto
from boto.regioninfo import RegionInfo

region = RegionInfo(name='hpcloud', endpoint='
az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com')
conn = boto.connect_ec2('<tenant_id:access_key_id>', '<secret_key>',
path='/services/Cloud')

I haven't tried that but I think that should work.

Mitch

I've tried Boto with HP Cloud / OpenStack and it works fine. The following
is what I use:

Mitch is correct, the access_key is the tenant id + colon + access key. The
port is 443.

access_key = <tenantid:accesskey>
secret_key = <secretkey>
is_secure = True
port = 443
endpoint = az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com
path='/services/Cloud/'
(there are a handful of endpoints)

I use api version '2010-08-31' but I am not sure if this matters OpenStack.
WIth Eucalyptus 3 you need to specify the api version or else Boto won't be
able to parse the results.

endpoint =
            region = boto.ec2.regioninfo.RegionInfo(name='hpcloud',
endpoint='az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com')
            self.conn = boto.connect_ec2(access_key, secret_key,
                is_secure=True,
                region=region,
                port=443,
                path='/services/Cloud/',
                debug=2)
            self.conn.APIVersion = '2010-08-31'

Hi,
Thanks, its working for me

I have another issue

* After connection we are (In our appication) doing get_all_region and
creating new connection (using endpoint of region) for each region and
fetching zones, templates, etc--

* Connect to each region failing, Since region.endpont returning
somethin like "http://15.185.76.240:8773/services/Cloud". It should be
"az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com"

* I also tried to make connection using following settings (with
is_secure True and False), but not working.
server : 15.185.76.240
port : 8773
path : /services/Cloud

* It is working, if we set end point to domain "az-1.region-
a.geo-1.ec2-compute.hpcloudsvc.com"

* Following are the attributes of region object "nova"

* Example-1
{'item': '', 'connection': EC2Connection:az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-
compute.hpcloudsvc.com, 'endpoint': u'http://15.185.76.240:8773/
services/Cloud', 'name': u'nova', 'connection_cls': <class
'boto.ec2.connection.EC2Connection'>}

* Example-2
{'item': '', 'connection': EC2Connection:az-1.region-a.geo-1.ec2-
compute.hpcloudsvc.com, 'endpoint': u'http://15.185.76.96:8773/
services/Cloud', 'name': u'nova', 'connection_cls': <class
'boto.ec2.connection.EC2Connection'>}

* Note: Example-1 and Example-2 are showing different endpoint, that
is endpoint of nova region object changing dynamically.

Has anyone figured out what are the settings for connecting to the HP
cloud's object store?

I've tried varying the following options but am either getting a '404 Not
Found' or '401 Unauthorized' errors:

                        aws_secret_access_key=<secret_key>,
                        calling_format=calling_format,
                        is_secure=True,
                        host='region-a.geo-1.objects.hpcloudsvc.com',
                        port=443,
                        path='/' OR '/v1.0' OR '/v1.0/<tenant_id>')
ERR

The same code works fine for another OpenStack-based cloud whose connection
properties are known.

Thanks,
Enis
