rbc-tools: Manage RedBridge Cloud

rbc-tools are command line tools for managing RedBridge Cloud <https://cloud.redbridge.se/>.

Using rbc-tools you can manage instances, networks and othe compute resources in RBC.

The tools are tested on MacOS X and Linux only at the moment, but should also work on Windows in a cygwin environment.

The tools are in a early beta stage so please report any bugs to [email protected] or as issues on github <https://github.com/redbridge/rbc-tools/issues>

Getting started

1. Register for an account on RedBridge Portal <https://portal.redbridge.se/account/signup/>

2. Get your access key and secret key from your account page in the portal.

3. Create a ~/.rbc/rbc.cfg file (in a terminal):

   mkdir -p ~/.rbc
   cat > ~/.rbc/rbc.cfg <<EOF
   [main]
   apikey = <your api key as found in the Portal>
   secretkey = <your secret key as found in the Portal>
   endpoint = api.rbcloud.net
   EOF
   

4. Install rbc-tools using pip (or easy_install)

5. Now you should have access to a number of command line scripts, prefixed with rbc-*

Note that you can also set api key and secret key by using environment variables:

export RBC_APIKEY=XXXXX; export RBC_SECRETKEY=XXXX

Examples

Create a ssh key pair:

rbc-sshkeys generate my-keypair > ~/.ssh/my-keypair_id_rsa

To deploy 3 small instances in the RedBridge Cloud, using a ssh key:

rbc-instances deploy -i 3 -g test -t rbc/ubuntu-14.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-20GB-201461111 -o small -w default -s my-keypair my-instances
