cloudscale_server – Manages servers on the cloudscale.ch IaaS service¶
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
Since version 2.8, uuid and name or not mutually exclusive anymore.
If uuid option is provided, it takes precedence over name for server selection. This allows to update the server’s name.
If no uuid option is provided, name is used for server selection. If more than one server with this name exists, execution is aborted.
Only the name and flavor are evaluated for the update.
The option force=true must be given to allow the reboot of existing running servers for applying the changes.
Instead of the api_token parameter the
CLOUDSCALE_API_TOKENenvironment variable can be used.All operations are performed using the cloudscale.ch public API v1.
For details consult the full API documentation: https://www.cloudscale.ch/en/api/v1.
A valid API token is required for all operations. You can create as many tokens as you like using the cloudscale.ch control panel at https://control.cloudscale.ch.
