Hi all,
Is there a way to get summary information about cloud using API? In particular I'm interesting in obtain OpenStack version (Grizzly, Havana).
Second is there chance to obtain a cloud identifier (code, UUID or something like that) using API?
There is no mechanism for obtaining the release name via the API. With most services you can find information about supported API versions by querying the top-level URL for the endpoint. For example, if I query the glance endpoint:
$ curl http://localhost:9292/
{"versions": [{"status": "CURRENT", "id": "v2.2", "links": [{"href": "http://localhost:9292/v2/", "rel": "self"}]}, {"status": "SUPPORTED", "id": "v2.1", "links": [{"href": "http://localhost:9292/v2/", "rel": "self"}]}, {"status": "SUPPORTED", "id": "v2.0", "links": [{"href": "http://localhost:9292/v2/", "rel": "self"}]}, {"status": "CURRENT", "id": "v1.1", "links": [{"href": "http://localhost:9292/v1/", "rel": "self"}]}, {"status": "SUPPORTED", "id": "v1.0", "links": [{"href": "http://localhost:9292/v1/", "rel": "self"}]}]}
And of course you can get a list of available services by querying Keystone for the service catalog.
There is no concept of a "cloud identifier". Individual clouds are identified by API endpoints. Generally, each OpenStack cloud will have a unique Keystone authentication URL, and I guess you could treat this as an identifier.
Thanks for the answer.
API version is OK but i was trying to find release name release name. No problem.
About using keystone authentication URL as identifier there could be problem in case there will be change for Keystone authentication server. But it could be a solution.
