Operations/UseCases

What kind of things do OpenStack Operators need to do on a daily basis? Is it easy or difficult? Tracking these use cases will identify gaps in OpenStack tooling, offer valuable insight to the developers, and help improve OpenStack.

UUIDs in the CLI: painful

Problem: The CLI dependence on UUIDs makes simple day-to-day tasks a pain. How:

keystone user-create --name=foo --email="foo@foo.com"; keystone user-create --name=bar --email="bar@bar.com"
keystone role-list | grep admin

| admin | XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXAAA |

keystone tenant-list | grep baz

| baz | XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXBBB |

keystone user-list | grep foo

| foo | XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXCCC|

keystone user-role-add --role_id = XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXAAA --tenant_id=XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXBBB --user_id=XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXCCC

Repeat the second two steps for the other users. I've done this with some seriously ugly for loops.

How should this work?: $ keystone user-create --name=foo --email="foo@foo.com" $ keystone user-role-add --user=foo --tenant=baz --role=admin Bug Tracking this:

It's not possible to list the roles for a multi-tenant user

Problem: It's not possible to list all the roles for a multi-tenant user. Instead you have to go into the DB (or write a standalone tool to do it for you) How should this work?:

keystone user-show --user=foo

User foo:

| Tenant |   Role   | Date Added |
|  Foo     | Admin  | Tue Oct 16 17:29:11 UTC 2012 |
|  Bar     | User  | Tue Oct 11 13:18:02 UTC 2012 |
