Jupyter Integration

To install jupyter please use:

pip install jupyter

To start a notebook use the regular jupyter command

jupyter notebook

Now select under new the name of the notebook you like to create and make sure you use python 3. As cloudmesh provides an API it is very easy to integrate it into jupyter. The following image shows how easy it is

However, naturally, we can also use build-in features of jupyter such as running shell commands with

[1] !cms set cloud=AWS
[2] !cms vm star

API calls

To use the specific API calls, We recommend you to look at the API documentation of cloudmesh. To show you a simple example of advanced functionality we demonstrate how to list flavors of a cloud:

from cloudmesh.compute.vm.Provider import Provider
provider = Provider(name="chameleon")

flavors = provider.flavors()
flavors[0]['name']

'm1.tiny'

provider.Print(flavors)
