Nova2ools

Set of simple utilities to work with OpenStack. As python-novaclient they are working via native Nova v1.1 API.

They were created to provide ability to use GridDynamics extensions for OpenStack, like billing sytems, DNS as the Service, etc.

Utilities are available in OpenStack-Core Yum repositories:

http://yum.griddynamics.net/yum/diablo — for RHEL
http://yum.griddynamics.net/yum/diablo-centos — for CentOS

All utilities are prefixed by nova2ools- and contain builtin documentation, for e. g.:
