Resource File Format¶
A Downpour resource file is a YAML file containing explicitly identified resources to be exported, along with instructions for how to handle the export.
keypairs
¶
The keypairs section lists the names of the keypairs to be exported. Keys associated with servers are exported automatically, but if it is important to move keys not in use by any of the servers those keys can be listed separately.
Each item in the keypairs list should be a mapping with a value for
name
.
keypairs:
- name: downpour-demo
images
¶
The images section lists the names of the images to be exported.
Each item in the images list should be a mapping with a value for
name
.
images:
- name: cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk
volumes
¶
The volumes section lists the names and settings for the unattached volumes to be exported. This section should not include volumes attached to servers, because those are exported as part of exporting the server definition.
Each item in the images list should be a mapping with a value for
name
and an optional boolean value for save_state
, indicating
whether the contents of the volume should be exported. If
save_state
is false, a new volume with the same name and size will
be created but it will be empty. The default is to save the contents
of the volume.
volumes:
- name: downpour-demo-unattached
save_state: false
servers
¶
The servers section lists the names and settings for the virtual machines to be exported.
Each item in the images list should be a mapping with a value for
name
. It can also contain an optional boolean value for
save_state
, indicating whether the contents of the VM should be
exported. If save_state
is false, a new VM with the same name and
flavor will be created, but it will not contain any of the files from
the current VM. The default is to save the contents of the volume.
If an optional key_name
setting is given, the new VM will be
initialized using that ssh keypair instead of the one already
associated with the server. The keypair does not need to exist on the
source system.
servers:
- name: downpour-demo-tiny
# Create the server using a separate key than
# it was created with in tiny.yml.
key_name: downpour-demo2
