+ <title>Install, Configure and Feel</title>
+ <para>The Knife family of tools are drivers that automate the provisioning and configuration of machines in the Cloud. Knife-cloudstack is a &PRODUCT; plugin for knife. Written in ruby it is used by the Chef community. To install Knife-CloudStack you can simply install the gem or get it from github:</para>
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>gem install knife-cloudstack</programlisting>
+ If successfull the <emphasis>knife</emphasis> command should now be in your path. Issue <emphasis>knife</emphasis> at the prompt and see the various options and sub-commands available.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If you want to use the version on github simply clone it:
+ <programlisting>git clone https://github.com/CloudStack-extras/knife-cloudstack.git</programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If you clone the git repo and do changes to the code, you will want to build and install a new gem. As an example, in the directory where you cloned the knife-cloudstack repo do:
+ <programlisting>
+$ gem build knife-cloudstack.gemspec
+ Successfully built RubyGem
+ Name: knife-cloudstack
+ Version: 0.0.14
+ File: knife-cloudstack-0.0.14.gem
+$ gem install knife-cloudstack-0.0.14.gem
+Successfully installed knife-cloudstack-0.0.14
+1 gem installed
+Installing ri documentation for knife-cloudstack-0.0.14...
+Installing RDoc documentation for knife-cloudstack-0.0.14...
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You will then need to define your &PRODUCT; endpoint and your credentials in a <emphasis>knife.rb</emphasis> file like so:
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>
+knife[:cloudstack_url] = "http://yourcloudstackserver.com:8080/client/api
+knife[:cloudstack_api_key] = "Your CloudStack API Key"
+knife[:cloudstack_secret_key] = "Your CloudStack Secret Key"
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ With the endpoint and credentials configured as well as knife-cloudstack installed, you should be able to issue your first command. Remember that this is simply sending a &PRODUCT; API call to your &PRODUCT; based Cloud provider. Later in the section we will see how to do more advanced things with knife-cloudstack. For example, to list the service offerings (i.e instance types) available on the iKoula Cloud, do:
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>
+$ knife cs service list

+ If you only have user privileges on the Cloud you are using, as opposed to Admin privileges, do note that some commands won't be available to you.
+ For instance on the Cloud I am using where I am a standard user I cannot access any of the infrastructure type command like:
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>
+$ knife cs pod list

+ Similarly to CloudMonkey, you can pass a list of fields to output. To find the potential fields enter the <emphasis>--fieldlist</emphasis> option at the end of the command.
+ You can then pick the fields that you want to output by passing a comma separated list to the <emphasis>--fields</emphasis> option like so:

+ Knife will automatically allocate a Public IP address and associate it with your running instance. If you additionally pass port forwarding rules and firewall rules it will set those up. You need to specify an instance type, from the list returned by <emphasis>knife cs service list</emphasis> as well as a template, from the list returned by <emphasis>knife cs template list</emphasis>. The <emphasis>--no-boostrap</emphasis> option will tell knife to not install chef on the deployed instance. Syntax for the port forwarding and firewall rules are explained on the <ulink url="https://github.com/CloudStack-extras/knife-cloudstack">knife cloudstack</ulink> website. Here is an example on the <ulink url="http://www.ikoula.com">iKoula cloud</ulink> in France:
