Dimension Data Cloud Compute client

The Go client for Dimension Data Cloud Compute targets the CloudControl (MCP) 2.0 API.

API reference documentation can be found here.

The client's methods (where possible) match the operations defined in the CloudControl 2.2 to 2.13 API.

To get started, run:

go get github.com/DimensionDataResearch/go-dd-cloud-compute

You can now create a client for the API, and retrieve a listing of your network domains.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/DimensionDataResearch/go-dd-cloud-compute/compute"
)

region := "AU"
username := "my_user"
password := "my_password"

client := compute.NewClient(region, username, password)
networkDomains, err := client.ListNetworkDomains()
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

for _, networkDomain = range(networkDomains) {
	fmt.Printf("Found network domain: '%s'\n", networkDomain.Name)
}

To deploy a new server and wait for its deployment to complete:

networkDomainID := "20e05553-226e-4ce4-b953-b837d816a087"
networkDomain, err := client.GetNetworkDomain(networkDomainID)
if err != nil {
	return err
}
if networkDomain == nil {
	return fmt.Errorf("No network domain was found with Id '%s'.", networkDomainID)
}

deploymentConfiguration := compute.ServerDeploymentConfiguration{
	Name:                  "my-server",
	Description:           "This is my server",
	AdministratorPassword: "sn4u$ag3s!",
	Start:                 true,

	// CPU and Memory should be configured after the OS image has been applied to this configuration.

	Network: compute.VirtualMachineNetwork{
		NetworkDomainID: networkDomainID,

		PrimaryAdapter: compute.VirtualMachineNetworkAdapter{
			VLANID:             "5be19198-f270-4b86-b60a-e7787c4d67e4",
			PrivateIPv4Address: "10.0.3.12",
		},
	},

	PrimaryDNS:   "8.8.8.8",
	SecondaryDNS: "8.8.4.4",
}

// Retrieve image details.
//
// The machine will be deployed in the data center where the OS image is located.
osImageName := "CentOS 7 64-bit 2 CPU"
osImage, err := apiClient.FindOSImage(*osImageName, networkDomain.DatacenterID)
if err != nil {
	return err
}
if osImage == nil {
	return fmt.Errorf("Unable to find an OS image named '%s' in data centre '%s' (which is where the target network domain, '%s', is located).", *osImageName, dataCenterID, networkDomainID)
}

// Apply the OS image configuration to your server.
err = deploymentConfiguration.ApplyImage(osImage)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

// Customise memory and / or CPU (if required).
deploymentConfiguration.MemoryGB = 8
deploymentConfiguration.CPU.Count = 4
deploymentConfiguration.CPU.CoresPerSocket = 2

// Initiate the deployment.
serverID, err := apiClient.DeployServer(deploymentConfiguration)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

// Now wait for the deployment to complete.
resource, err := apiClient.WaitForDeploy(compute.ResourceTypeServer, serverID, 25 * time.Minute)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

// When deployment is complete, resource can be cast to a Server to obtain server details (if required).
server := resource.(*compute.Server)
fmt.Printf("Server '%s' (%s) has been successfully deployed. ", server.Name, server.ID)
