ProfitBricks configuration and credentials

---

Get started by running:

  sudo pip install -r perfkitbenchmarker/providers/profitbricks/requirements.txt

PerfKit Benchmarker uses the Requests module to interact with ProfitBricks' REST API. HTTP Basic authentication is used to authorize access to the API. Please set this up as follows:

Create a configuration file containing the email address and password associated with your ProfitBricks account, separated by a colon. Example:

less ~/.config/profitbricks-auth.cfg
email:password

The PerfKit Benchmarker will automatically base64 encode your credentials before making any calls to the REST API.

PerfKit Benchmarker uses the file location ~/.config/profitbricks-auth.cfg by default. You can use the --profitbricks_config flag to override the path.
