OpenStack

Install OpenStack Nova client and setup authentication

---

Make sure you have installed pip (see the section above).

Install python-novaclient by following command:

sudo pip install python-novaclient

You must specify authentication information for test execution, including user name (`--openstack_username flag or OS_USERNAME environment variable), tenant name (--openstack_tenant flag or OS_TENANT_NAME environment variable), and authentication URL (--openstack_auth_url flag or OS_AUTH_URL environment variable).

The password cannot be set through a flag. You can specify it through the OS_PASSWORD environment variable, or alternatively you can save it in a file and specify the file location with the --openstack_password_file flag or OPENSTACK_PASSWORD_FILE environment variable.

Example using environment variables:

export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_TENANT=myproject
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:5000
export OS_PASSWORD=<password>

Example using a password file at the default file location:

echo topsecretpassword > ~/.config/openstack-password.txt
./pkb.py --cloud=OpenStack --benchmarks=ping
