Salt Cloud Kamatera Module

Installation

• Install Salt (version 2019.2.0 or greater)
• Install the module, using the same Python interpreter that Salt was installed with:
  • pip install salt-cloud-module-kamatera

Usage

See the Salt Cloud documentation to get a general understanding of how Salt and Salt Cloud work.

Configuration

Using Salt for Kamatera requires an API key and secret which you can get by visiting Kamatera Console and adding a new key under API Keys. Use the created key ID and Secret in the configuration:

# Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
# /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

my-kamatera-config:
  driver: kamatera
  api_client_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  api_secret: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
  minion:
    master: saltmaster.example.com

Create a server

Set up a cloud profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or under /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

my-kamatera-profile:
  size: "my-size"  # this is meaningless, required due to limitations in Salt Cloud
  provider: my-kamatera-config
  # salt-cloud --list-locations my-kamatera-config
  location: EU
  # salt-cloud --location EU --list-sizes my-kamatera-config
  cpu_type: B
  cpu_cores: 2
  ram_mb: 2048
  # primary disk size
  # salt-cloud --location EU -f avail_server_options my-kamatera-config
  disk_size_gb: 50
  # up to 3 additional disks
  extra_disk_sizes_gb:
    - 100
    - 200
  # hourly / monthly
  billing_cycle: monthly
  # traffic package is only relevant for monthly billing cycle
  # salt-cloud --location EU -f avail_server_options my-kamatera-config
  monthly_traffic_package: t5000
  # salt-cloud --location EU --list-images my-kamatera-config
  image: EU:6000C29a5a7220dcf84716e7bba74215
  # up to 4 network interfaces can be attached
  # network name 'wan' provides a public IP
  # you can add additional private networks in the Kamatera web-ui
  networks:
    - name: wan
      ip: auto
    # - name: my-lan-id
    #   ip: auto
  # whether to enable daily backups for the created server
  daily_backup: false
  # whether to provide managed support service
  managed: false

Create the server:

salt-cloud -p my-kamatera-profile my-server

Execute salt commands on the server (requires a Salt master + properly configured networking):

salt my-server test.version
