CloudMonkey

cloudmonkey ☁️🐵 is a command line interface (CLI) for Apache CloudStack. CloudMonkey can be use both as an interactive shell and as a command line tool which simplifies Apache CloudStack configuration and management.

The modern cloudmonkey is a re-written and simplified port in Go and can be used with Apache CloudStack 4.9 and above. The legacy cloudmonkey written in Python can be used with Apache CloudStack 4.0-incubating and above.

History

The original cloudmonkey was written in Python and contributed to Apache CloudStack project by Rohit Yadav on 31 Oct 2012 under the Apache License 2.0. The Python-based original CLI is now referred to as the legacy cloudmonkey and can be installed using pip install cloudmonkey.

Starting version 6.0.0, the modern cloudmonkey cmk is a fast and simplified Go-port of the original tool with some backward incompatibilities and reduced feature set. It ships as a standalone 64-bit executable binary for several platforms such as Linux, Mac and Windows.

NOTE:

If cloudmonkey is being upgraded from a version lower than v6.0.0, it must be noted that the cloudmonkey configuration path is changed from ~/.cloudmonkey/config to ~/.cmk/config and a default localcloud profile is created. One would have to hence do an initial setup of basic configration such apikey/secretkey/username/password/url for the required profile(s) as required
