Using the openstacksdk with authentication arguments
I wanted to authenticate against OpenStack recently, and had a lot of trouble finding documentation about how to authenticate just by passing arguments (as opposed to by using clouds.yaml or environment variables). Now that I have a working incantation, I figure I should write it down so I can find it again. Its also disappointing the OpenStack documentation doesn't appear to cover this particularly well... from keystoneauth1.identity import v3 from keystoneauth1 import session from openstack import connection auth = v3.Password( auth_url='http://kolla.home.stillhq.com:5000', username='admin', password='...', project_name='admin', user_domain_id='default', project_domain_id='default') sess = session.Session(auth=auth) conn = connection.Connection(session=sess) print([x.name for x in conn.list_servers()]) This code will authenticate using the arguments provided, and then list all the servers (instances) visible to that user. You're welcome.
