Looking for volunteers to help evaluate & give feedback on pre-release GoGrid CLI tool that talks to the GoGrid API. This is BETA code, but stable & functional. Send an e-mail to randyb {#} gogrid.com. I’ll send you instructions and a location to get the tool. If you want to test it, but don’t have a GoGrid account just let me know and I’ll supply you a one-time $100 service credit for when you signup.
It’s a Java .jar file. You’ll need a JRE/JDK of 1.5+. I have not tested 1.6, but there isn’t anything special here so it should work. I have not tried Windows or Linux either, but again it should work.
To get command line usage:
% java –jar cloudcontrol.jar -h
This is a simple wrapper around the API functionality and doesn’t have any particular logic of it’s own.
Again, it’s pre-release, so don’t expect oodles of documentation, but I think this tool is simple enough to not need much.
An example of usage and output:
# java -jar cloudcontrol.jar -key KEY -secret SECRET -api api.gogrid.com -list ips -state assigned -type public Id IP Subnet Public 1345 218.111.97.64 218.111.97.64/255.255.255.240 true 1346 218.111.97.65 218.111.97.64/255.255.255.240 true 1351 218.111.97.70 218.111.97.64/255.255.255.240 true 1352 218.111.97.71 218.111.97.64/255.255.255.240 true 1353 218.111.97.72 218.111.97.64/255.255.255.240 true 1360 218.111.97.79 218.111.97.64/255.255.255.240 true
Update: There is currently a little quirk in the way the backend of GoGrid and the API work together. The result is that it isn’t obvious when a server is finished being provisioned. Here’s how you know. When the ‘Id’ returned is no longer a ‘0′, then your server is ready.
For example when it’s not ready.
% java -jar cloudcontrol.jar -key KEY -secret SECRET -api api.gogrid.com -list servers Id Name Description 0 test1 Test Box
When it’s good to be started:
% java -jar cloudcontrol.jar -key KEY -secret SECRET -api api.gogrid.com -list servers Id Name Description 18321 test1 Test Box
