Dedicated Hosts (DeH)¶
Table of Contents
The primary resource of the DeH service is the host.
CRUD operations¶
List Hosts¶
A host is a dedicated host, where virtual machines would be running.
def list_hosts(conn):
print("List Hosts:")
for host in conn.deh.hosts():
print(host)
Full example: deh host list
List Hosts Types¶
In order to allocate a host, it’s type need to be chosen first. Types might differ per availability zone, therefore it is required to specify in which AZ to look for types
def list_host_types(conn, az):
print("List Host types in AZ %s:" % az)
for host_type in conn.deh.host_types(az):
print(host_type)
Full example: deh host list type
List Host servers¶
Each DeH Host is intended to run virtual instances. Only querying list of servers is supported
def list_host_servers(conn, host):
print("List Servers running on host")
for server in conn.deh.servers(host):
print(server)
Full example: deh host list server
Provisioning operations¶
Provisioning actions are the main way to manipulate the hosts.
Allocating a DeH Host Instance¶
A host can be allocated with a following snip.
def create_host(conn):
print("Create Host:")
host = conn.deh.create_host(
name='my_new_host',
# host_type can be retrieved with host_types() call
host_type='general',
availability_zone='eu-de-01',
# amount of hosts to allocate
quantity=1
)
# dedicated_host_ids is a list of allocated hosts (since multiple may
# be requested)
print(host.dedicated_host_ids)
Allocating a DeH Host supports setting quantity parameter to allocate multiple hosts in a one call. Due to that the IDs of allocated hosts are being returned as part of the “virtual” resource in a dedicated_host_ids attribute
Full example: deh host create
