[jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-392) Add support for keypairs management in the OpenStack driver

["John Carr (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-392?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13760465#comment-13760465 ] 

John Carr commented on LIBCLOUD-392:
------------------------------------

[~sebgoa] recently worked on these methods to CloudStack, and  I have been tweaking the equivalent methods for EC2. It we be good if we good try and align and OpenStack tweaks so that all 3 drivers work similarly - so I write a script using them and they work for all 3 drivers.

Currently the EC2 driver has the following:

 * ex_create_keypair
 * ex_import_keypair_from_string
 * ex_import_keypair
 * ex_find_or_import_keypair_by_key_material (I'd like to shorten the name to just ex_find_or_import_keypair)
 * ex_list_keypairs
 * ex_describe_keypair (Should be renamed ex_get_keypair to be more consistent with other API's?)

These should be deprecated and removed IMO:

 * ex_describe_all_keypairs (Should really be marked as deprecated)
 * ex_describe_keypairs (Should really be marked as deprecated)

It doesn't currently have an ex_delete_keypair, but it should.

Right now the EC2 methods operate on and return dictionary objects that look a bit like this dict(keyName='key_name', keyFingerprint='00:...'). I would quite like to add a shared NodeAuthKeypair object that could be used for this API for all 3 drivers. This could also be passed in to methods that take an auth parameter instead of ex_keyname.

Maybe we could remove ex_ from the front of some of these methods?
