Documentation

clouds2env

A tool to convert from an OpenStack clouds.yaml file to environment variables. This can be useful when all you have is a clouds.yaml file but you need to work with a legacy tool like novaclient.

Like openstacksdk, clouds2env will look in the following location for clouds.yaml files:

  • . (the current directory)
  • $HOME/.config/openstack
  • /etc/openstack

The first file found wins.

You can also set the environment variable OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE to an absolute path of a file to look for and that location will be inserted at the front of the file search list.

You can specify the cloud to generate environment variables for by setting the OS_CLOUD environment variable. Alternatively, you may provide the cloud name as an argument to tool.
