salt.modules.cloud.create(provider, names, **kwargs)

Create an instance using Salt Cloud

CLI Example:

salt minionname cloud.create my-ec2-config myinstance image=ami-1624987f size='t1.micro' ssh_username=ec2-user securitygroup=default delvol_on_destroy=True

salt.modules.cloud.destroy(names)

List cloud provider locations for the given providers

CLI Example:

salt '*' cloud.list_locations my-gce-config

salt.modules.cloud.list_sizes(provider='all')

List cloud provider sizes for the given providers

CLI Example:

salt '*' cloud.list_sizes my-gce-config

salt.modules.cloud.network_create(provider, names, **kwargs)

CLI Example:

salt minionname cloud.network_create my-nova names=['salt'] cidr='192.168.100.0/24'

salt.modules.cloud.network_list(provider)

CLI Example:

salt '*' cloud.profile my-gce-config myinstance

salt.modules.cloud.query(query_type='list_nodes')

List cloud provider data for all providers

CLI Examples:

salt '*' cloud.query
salt '*' cloud.query list_nodes_full
salt '*' cloud.query list_nodes_select

salt.modules.cloud.select_query(query_type='list_nodes_select')

List selected nodes

CLI Example:

salt '*' cloud.select_query

salt.modules.cloud.virtual_interface_create(provider, names, **kwargs)
