Rumm: a tasty tool for hackers and pirates

Rumm is a command line interface and API to rackspace. You can use it to easily build and manage infrastructure for great good.

Usage

Authenticate with rackspace

rumm login
  username: joe
  password: ****
  logged in, credentials written to ~/.netrc

Now we can see the list of servers we have available:

$ rumm show servers
you don't have any servers, but you can create on with:
rumm create server

Create the server:

rumm create server
  created server divine-reef
    id: 52415800-8b69-11e0-9b19-734f565bc83b, hostId: e4d909c290d0fb1ca068ffaddf22cbd0, ip: 67.23.10.138, image: CentOS 5.2

Create the database:

rumm create databaseinstance #=> POST databaseintsances
  created databaseinstance little-fork
    id: 623, username: 'username', password: 'password', databases: production

In order to allow for a multilpe server nodes, and the ability to bring up new server nodes without changing the public IP of our application, we'll create a load balancer to handle traffic, and then add our server to it:

rumm create loadbalancer  #=> POST loadbalancers
  created loadbalancer tranquil-snowflake
    id: 220, port: 80, protocol: http, algorithm: random, virtualIps: 10.1.1.1, fd24:f480:ce44:91bc:1af2:15ff:0000:0005

rumm create node on loadbalancer tranquil-snowflake
  created node loadbalancer:tranquil-snowflake
    id: 410, address: 67.23.10.138, port: 3000, condition: ENABLED, status: ONLINE, weight: 10, type: PRIMARY
