Add interfaces/vlan management

[twidi]

I just fell in love with your great API but when i wanted to add my newly created VM to my vlan... i didn't find a way :(

[kalou]

We can easily do:

• gandi vlan create (--name ?)
• gandi vlan update (--things for subnets - see below)
• gandi vlan delete
• gandi vlan list

We need something simple to attach/detach a vm to/from a vlan. Not sure if we can have a syntax like

• gandi vlan attach

On the other hand, we're finalizing automatic IP/subnet allocations, so this could wait for it a little

[twidi]

With the vlan feature it makes no sense to use many servers without vlans, and the only real usage of this client is to manage many servers. It's, for me at least, but for others, totally useless without this :)

Do you have an ETA for the "ip/subnet" allocation ? Is it related to ip allocation on vlans, which must be done manually for now ?

[twidi]

By the way, about "gandi vlan attach" I was about to tell you "why not the same syntax as for disks"... but i didn't find such a command :(

it is planned before the end of the year I guess

Thanks for your answer ;)

But... no vlan management, no disk attachment (except on creation)... hmmm it's a real great idea to have this lib + command line, but not very useful for now :(
I just used this tool as an argument with a friend to convince him to migrate his servers to gandi :-/

[kalou]

dont be sad, it's useful for many things, especially if you consider using temporary servers with hourly billing rather than deploying vps stuff. we'll work on that soon.

[twidi]

yes i understand. So i'll wait ;)

Hello @twidi

I've pushed a new branch named unstable which contains 2 new namespaces: vlan and iface.
Can you use it and give us your feedback, does it solve your issue ?

Also please take note that this branch is, obviously, unstable and will be refactored in the near future so it can become broken/non working.

[wdauchy]

I guess we can close it since the v0.12 is released with needed namespace (vlan+ip)

[sayoun]

Indeed, I'll remove the branch too
