Automate script to delete & detach floating IP addresses from Openstack instances

[ryankwilliams]

Currently the MIQ REST API does not provide a collection with actions to delete floating IP addresses and detach the IP from instances.

In order to provide networking capabilities #16 we need to leverage MIQ automate feature. We need to create an automate script (Ruby language) to delete/detach IP to instances. Which can be called via the REST API automation_requests collection.

TBD

• Parameter input

Completed prototype automate scripts:

release_floating_ip - will detach and remove a floating ip. Input Ip name or id.
retire_floating_ip - will detach and delete all floating ips from vm instance. Input of vm.
vm can be given by name or id.

Methods can currently be Imported from the following git: 'https://github.com/smatula/PIT-Datastore.git'.
This will need to be moved to a project repository.

This is just a proof of concept. It is not fully robust. It expects the input values to be correct. It will return errors but the messages are basically a trace and can be cryptic. Exact design will need to be discussed.

Can be imported to Cloudforms or ManageIQ.

1. Make sure 'Git Repositories Owner' is on in your CloudForms/ManageIQ system.
   Performed from Configuration. The Configuration located in the drop down in the upper right hand corner.
   Settings->Zones

2. Perform Import
   Automation->Automate->Import/Export
   Import get_floating_ip from Git 'https://github.com/smatula/PIT-Datastore.git'

3. Once imported you may run it through the rest api as follows:

   A. Update the input json payload file with correct values for method.
   
   B. Execute:
   

   http --verify=no -a : POST https://<manageIQ/cloudforms>:8443/api/automation_requests @<payload_file.json>

   C. Keep checking for Command to finish. Returned request_state equals 'finished'. <id> is the id returned for command executed in B.
   

   http --verify=no -a : https://<manageIQ/cloudform>:8443/api/automation_requests/

   D. Get results from returned data. Once finished. Options will be updated with the return data.
