How can I configure Juju for deployment on HP Cloud?

Question

HP Cloud has a new cloud service out based on Open Stack. How can I configure my environments.yaml to connect to the new service?

Answer 1

If you have juju-quickstart installed, you can do juju quickstart -i; this will give you a form to fill out for your cloud provider.

Answer 2

You will also need to set your access-key and secret-key information as an environment variable or in the environments.yaml file.

Adding to your environments.yaml file should make it look like this:

environments:
  hpcloud:
    juju-origin: ppa
    control-bucket: juju-hpc-az1-cb
    admin-secret: [any-unique-string-shared-among-admins-u-like]
    default-image-id: [8419]
    region: az-1.region-a.geo-1
    project-name: [your@hpcloud.com-tenant-name]
    default-instance-type: standard.small
    auth-url: https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/
    auth-mode: keypair
    type: openstack
    default-series: precise
    authorized-keys: [CONTENTS (not path) to your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key]
    access-key: [PUT YOUR ACCESS-KEY HERE] 
    secret-key: [PUT YOUR SECRET-KEY HERE]'

You can find the access-key and secret-key by logging into your HP cloud control panel and displaying your API keys.
