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
