Usage

Not much documentation at the moment but just some quick typical usage scripts you can do with this library. This is based on the latest version from :

http://docs.rackspacecloud.com/loadbalancers/api/clb-devguide-latest.pdf

Create a LoadBalancer:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

node1 = cloudlb.Node(address="10.180.160.131",
                     port=80,
                     condition="ENABLED")


virtualIP1 = cloudlb.VirtualIP(
                 type="PUBLIC")

clb.loadbalancers.create(name="mytestinglb",
                         port=80,
                         protocol="HTTP",
                         nodes=[node1],
                         virtualIps=[virtualIp1])

List LoadBalancers:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
for lb in lbs:
    print "%s has %s node attached with IP addresses:" % (lb.name, len(lb.nodes))
    for ip in lb.virtualIps:
        print "%s/%s" % (ip.ipVersion, ip.address)

List LoadBalancers who have nodes that belong to it:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

ip = '10.1.1.1'
lbs = clb.loadbalancers.search(ip)
for lb in lbs:
    print "%s has %s node attached" % (lb.name, ip))

Get LB by ID:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")
clb.authenticate()

lb = clb.loadbalancers.get(LoadBalancerID)

Delete LB:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lb = clb.loadbalancers.get(LoadBalancerID)
lb.delete()

List nodes of a LB:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
lb = lbs[0] #get the first one
nodes=lb.nodes.filter(status='ENABLED')
for node in nodes:
    print node.address

Filter nodes via condition of a LB:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
lb = lbs[0] #get the first one
for node in lb.nodes:
    print node.address

Add a node to a LB:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

newnode =  cloudlb.Node(address="10.180.160.131",
                        port=80,
                        condition="ENABLED")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
lb = lbs[0] #add to the first one

lb.add_nodes([newnode])

Delete a node from a LB:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
lb = lbs[0] #add to the first one

node = lb.nodes[0] #get the first node

node.delete() #delete it

Update attributes of a node:

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
mylb = lbs[0] #add to the first one

nodeid = 14106
nodes = mylb.nodes
node = mylb.nodes.get(nodeid)
toggle_status = node.condition == "ENABLED" and "DISABLED" or "ENABLED"
node.condition = toggle_status
node.update()

Get weight of a node by using .get():

#!/usr/bin/python
import cloudlb
clb = cloudlb.CloudLoadBalancer("username", "apikey","chicago")

lbs = clb.loadbalancers.list()
mylb = lbs[0] #add to the first one

nodeid = 14106
nodes = mylb.nodes
node = mylb.nodes.get(nodeid)
print node.weight
