salt.cloud.clouds.packet#

Packet Cloud Module Using Packet's Python API Client#

The Packet cloud module is used to control access to the Packet VPS system.

Use of this module only requires the token parameter.

Set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/packet.conf:

The Packet profile requires size, image, location, project_id

Optional profile parameters:

storage_size - min value is 10, defines Gigabytes of storage that will be attached to device.
storage_tier - storage_1 - Standard Plan, storage_2 - Performance Plan
snapshot_count - int
snapshot_frequency - string - possible values:
- 1min
- 15min
- 1hour
- 1day
- 1week
- 1month
- 1year

This driver requires Packet's client library: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/packet-python
