jclouds openstack create instance

Question

I recently installed jclouds to use with eclipse to create a project in java to communicate with openstack. Does anyone know if there is a way to create an instance from a snapshot or using default parameters (ovf image ). I would appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Try OpenStack4j . Jcloud is only a high level basic API for OpenStack since it supports many other clouds. Example using OpenStack4j

// Create a Server Model Object
Server server = Builders.server()
                    .name("Ubuntu 2")
                    .flavor("flavorId")
                    .image("imageId")
                    .addPersonality("/etc/motd", "Welcome to the new VM! Restricted access only")
                    .build();

 // Boot the Server
 Server server = os.compute().servers().boot(server);
