+
+Openstack Configuration
+=======================
+
+The Openstack plugin requires credentials and endpoint setup information in order to authenticate and interact with Openstack.
+
+This information will be gathered by the plugin from the following sources,
+each source possibly partially or completely overriding values gathered from previous ones:
+
+1. environment variables for each of the configuration parameters.
+2. JSON file at ``~/openstack_config.json`` or at a path specified by the value of an environment variable named ``OPENSTACK_CONFIG_PATH``
+3. values specified in the ``openstack_config`` property for the node whose operation is currently getting executed (in the case of relationship operations, the ``openstack_config`` property of either the **source** or **target** nodes will be used if available, with the **source**'s one taking precedence).
+
+The structure of the JSON file in section (2), as well as of the ``openstack_config`` property in section (3), is as follows:
+
+.. highlight:: json
+
+::
+
+    {
+        "username": "",
+        "password": "",
+        "tenant_name": "",
+        "auth_url": "",
+        "region": "",
+        "nova_url": "",
+        "neutron_url": "",
+        "custom_configuration": ""
+    }
+
+* ``username`` username for authentication with Openstack Keystone service.
+* ``password`` password for authentication with Openstack Keystone service.
+* ``tenant_name`` name of the tenant to be used.
+* ``auth_url`` URL of the Openstack Keystone service.
+
+    .. attention:: New in 2.0
+
+        ``auth_url`` must include the full keystone auth URL, including the version number.
+
+* ``region`` Openstack region to be used. This may be optional when there's but a single region.
+* ``nova_url`` (**DEPRECATED** - instead, use ``custom_configuration`` to pass ``endpoint_override`` directly to the Nova client) explicit URL for the Openstack Nova service. This may be used to override the URL for the Nova service that is listed in the Keystone service.
+* ``neutron_url`` (**DEPRECATED** - instead, use ``custom_configuration`` to pass ``endpoint_url`` directly to the Neutron client) explicit URL for the Openstack Neutron service. This may be used to override the URL for the Neutron service that is listed in the Keystone service.
+* ``custom_configuration`` a dictionary which allows overriding or directly passing custom configuration parameter to each of the Openstack clients, by using any of the relevant keys: ``keystone_client``, ``nova_client``, ``neutron_client`` or ``cinder_client``.
+  * Parameters passed directly to Openstack clients using the ``custom_configuration`` mechanism will override other definitions (e.g. any of the common Openstack configuration parameters listed above, such as ``username`` and ``tenant_name``)
+  * The following is an example for the usage of the ``custom_configuration`` section in a blueprint:
+
+.. highlight:: yaml
+
+::
+
+    custom_configuration:
+      nova_client:
+        endpoint_override: nova-endpoint-url
+        nova_specific_key_1: value_1
+        nova_specific_key_2: value_2
+      neutron_client:
+        endpoint_url: neutron-endpoint-url
+      keystone_client:
+        ..
+      cinder_client:
+        ..
+
+
+The environment variables mentioned in (1) are the standard Openstack environment variables equivalent to the ones in the JSON file or ``openstack_config`` property. In their respective order, they are:
+
+* ``OS_USERNAME``
+* ``OS_PASSWORD``
+* ``OS_TENANT_NAME``
+* ``OS_AUTH_URL``
+* ``OS_REGION_NAME``
+* ``NOVACLIENT_BYPASS_URL``
+* ``OS_URL``
+
+**Note**: ``custom_configuration`` doesn't have an equivalent standard Openstack environment variable.
+
+
+    The Openstack manager blueprint stores the Openstack configuration used for the bootstrap process in a JSON file as described in (2) at
+    ``~/openstack-config.json``.
+    Therefore, if they've been used for bootstrap,
+    the Openstack configuration for applications isn't required as the plugin will default to these same settings.

+        - target: my_security_group
+          type: cloudify.openstack.server_connected_to_security_group
+
+
+1. Creates a floating IP, whose node name is ``my_floating_ip``, and whose floating_network_name is ``Ext-Net`` (This value represents the name of the external network).
+2. Creates a network, whose node name is ``my_network``, and whose name on Openstack is ``my_network_openstack_name``.
+3. Creates a subnet, whose node name is ``my_subnet``, and whose name on Openstack is ``my_subnet_openstack_name``. The subnet's address range is defined to be 1.2.3.0 - 1.2.3.255 using the ``cidr`` parameter, and the subnet's IP version is set to version 4. The subnet will be set on the ``my_network_openstack_name`` network because of the relationship to the ``my_network`` node.
+4. Creates a security_group, whose node name is ``my_security_group``, and whose name on Openstack is ``my_security_group_openstack_Name``. The security group is set with a single rule, which allows all traffic (since we use the address range ``0.0.0.0/0``) to port ``8080`` (default direction is *ingress*).
+5. Creates a server, whose node name is ``my_server``, and whose name on openstack is ``my_server_openstack_name``. The server is set with an image and flavor IDs. The server is set with multiple relationships:
+
+  - A relationship to the ``my_network`` node: Through this relationship,
+    the server will be automatically placed on the ``my_network_openstack_name`` network.
+  - A relationship to the ``my_subnet`` node:
+    This relationship is strictly for ensuring the order of creation is correct,
+    as the server requires the ``my_subnet_openstack_name`` subnet to exist before it can be created on it.
+  - A relationship to the ``my_floating_ip`` node:
+    This designated relationship type will take care of associating the server with the floating IP represented by the ``my_floating_ip`` node.
+  - A relationship with the ``my_security_group`` node:
+    This relationship will take care of setting the server up with the security group represented by the ``my_security_group`` node.
+
+
+Example II
+----------
+
+This example will show how to use the ``router`` and ``port`` types, as well as some of the relationships that were missing from Example I.
+
+We'll see how to create a server connected to a port, where the port is set on a subnet in a network, and has a security group set on it. Finally, we'll see how this subnet connects to a router and from there to the external network.
+
+
+The following is an excerpt from the blueprint's ``blueprint``.``node_templates`` section::
+
+    my_network:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+      properties:
+        resource_id: my_network_openstack_name
+
+
+    my_security_group:

+                ip_version: 4
+      relationships:
+        - target: my_network
+          type: cloudify.relationships.contained_in
+        - target: my_router
+          type: cloudify.openstack.subnet_connected_to_router
+
+
+    my_port:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Port
+      properties:
+        resource_id: my_port_openstack_name
+      relationships:
+        - target: my_network

+        - target: my_security_group
+          type: cloudify.openstack.port_connected_to_security_group
+
+
+    my_router:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Router
+      properties:
+        resource_id: my_router_openstack_Name
+
+
+    my_server:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
+      properties:
+        cloudify_agent:
+          user: ubuntu
+      interfaces:
+        cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle:
+          create:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                image: 8672f4c6-e33d-46f5-b6d8-ebbeba12fa02
+                flavor: 101
+        cloudify.interfaces.validation:
+          creation:

+                image: 8672f4c6-e33d-46f5-b6d8-ebbeba12fa02
+                flavor: 101
+      relationships:
+        - target: my_port
+          type: cloudify.openstack.server_connected_to_port
+
+
+1. Creates a network. See Example I for more information.
+
+2. Creates a security group. See Example I for more information.
+
+3. Creates a subnet. This is again similar to what we've done in Example I. The difference here is that the subnet has an extra relationship set towards a router.
+
+4. Creates a port, whose node name is ``my_port``, and whose name on Openstack is ``my_port_openstack_name``. The port is set with multiple relationships:
+
+  - A relationship to the ``my_network`` node: Through this relationship, the port will be automatically placed on the ``my_network_openstack_name`` network.
+  - A relationship to the ``my_subnet`` node: This relationship is strictly for ensuring the order of creation is correct, as the port requires the ``my_subnet_openstack_name`` subnet to exist before it can be created on it.
+  - A relationship to the ``my_security_group`` node: This designated relationship type will take care of setting the ``my_security_group_openstack_name`` security group on the port.
+
+5. Creates a router, whose node name is ``my_router``, and whose name on Openstack is ``my_router_openstack_name``. The router will automatically have an interface in the external network.
+
+6. Creates a server, whose node name is ``my_server``, and whose name on Openstack is **the node's ID** (since no ``name`` parameter was supplied under the ``server`` property). The server is set with an image and flavor IDs. It also overrides the ``cloudify_agent`` property of its parent type to set the username that will be used to connect to the server for installing the Cloudify agent on it. Finally, it is set with a relationship to the ``my_port`` node: This designated relationship type will take care of connecting the server to ``my_port_openstack_name``.
+
+
+Example III
+-----------
+
+This example will show how to use the ``volume`` type, as well as ``volume_attached_to_server`` relationship.
+
+The following is an excerpt from the blueprint's ``blueprint``.``node_templates`` section::
+
+    my_server:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
+      properties:
+        cloudify_agent:
+          user: ubuntu
+      interfaces:
+        cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle:
+          create:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                image: 8672f4c6-e33d-46f5-b6d8-ebbeba12fa02
+                flavor: 101
+        cloudify.interfaces.validation:
+          creation:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                image: 8672f4c6-e33d-46f5-b6d8-ebbeba12fa02
+                flavor: 101
+
+    my_volume:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Volume
+      properties:
+        resource_id: my_openstack_volume_name
+        device_name: /dev/vdb
+      interfaces:
+        cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle:
+          create:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                size: 1
+      relationships:
+        - target: my_server
+          type: cloudify.openstack.volume_attached_to_server
+
+
+1. Creates a server, with name ``my_server``, and with name on Openstack **the node's ID** (since no ``name`` parameter was supplied under the ``server`` property). The server is set with an image and flavor IDs.
+2. Creates a volume. It is set with a relationship to the ``my_server`` node: This designated relationship type will take care of attaching the volume to Openstack server node.
+
+
+

+1. Creates a keypair. the private key will be saved under ``/tmp/windows-test.pem``.
+2. Creates a Windows server:
+
+  * It is set with a relationship to the ``my_keypair`` node, which will make the server use the it as a public key for authentication, and also use this public key to encrypt its password before posting it to the Openstack metadata service.
+  * The worker-installer interface operations are given values for the user and password for the ``cloudify_agent`` input - the password uses the [get_attribute]({{< relref "blueprints/spec-intrinsic-functions.md#get-attribute" >}}) feature to retrieve the decrypted password from the Server's runtime properties (Note that in this example, only the ``install`` operation was given with this input, but all of the worker installer operations as well as the plugin installer operations should be given with it).
+  * We define custom userdata which configures WinRM and installs Python on the machine (Windows Server 2012 in this example) once it's up. This is required for the Cloudify agent to be installed on the machine.

+
+Tips
+====
+
+* It is highly recommended to **ensure that Openstack names are unique** (for a given type): While Openstack allows for same name objects, having identical names for objects of the same type might lead to ambiguities and errors.
+
+* To set up DNS servers for Openstack servers (whether it's the Cloudify Manager or application VMs), one may use the Openstack ``dns_nameservers`` parameter for the [Subnet type](#cloudifyopenstacknodessubnet) - that is, pass the parameter directly to Neutron by using the ``args`` input of the operations in Subnet node, e.g.::
+
+    my_subnet_node:
+      interfaces:
+        cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle:
+          create:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                dns_nameservers: [1.2.3.4]
+        cloudify.interfaces.validation:
+          creation:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                dns_nameservers: [1.2.3.4]
+
+  This will set up ``1.2.3.4`` as the DNS server for all servers on this subnet.
+
+* Public keys, unlike the rest of the Openstack resources, are user-based rather than tenant-based. When errors indicate a missing keypair, make sure you're using the correct user rather than tenant.
+
+* ICMP rules show up on Horizon (Openstack GUI) as ones defined using ``type`` and ``code`` fields, rather than a port range. However, in the actual Neutron (and Nova, in case of Nova-net security groups) service, these fields are represented using the standard port range fields (i.e., ``type`` and ``code`` correspond to ``port_range_min`` and ``port_range_max`` (respectively) on Neutron security groups, and to ``from_port`` and ``to_port`` (respectively) on Nova-net security groups).
+
+  ** For example, to set a security group rule which allows **ping** from anywhere, the following setting may be declared in the blueprint:
+    * ``protocol``: ``icmp``
+    * ``port_range_min``: ``0`` (type)
+    * ``port_range_max``: ``0`` (code)
+    * ``remote_ip_prefix``: ``0.0.0.0/0``
+
+* To use Openstack Neutron's ML2 extensions, use the ``args`` input for the Network's ``create`` operation. For example, the `provider network <http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-networking-v2-ext.html#createProviderNetwork>`_ may be set in the following way::
+
+    my_network:
+      type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+      ...
+      interfaces:
+        cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle:
+          create:
+            inputs:
+              args:
+                # Note that for this parameter to work, OpenStack must be configured to use Neutron's ML2 extensions
+                provider:network_type: vxlan
+
+* Ordering NICs in the Openstack plugin can be done in the 1.4 version of the Openstack plugin by simply stating the relationships to the various networks (or ports) in the desired order, e.g.::
+
+    node_templates:
+      server:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
+        relationships:
+          - target: network1
+            type: cloudify.relationships.connected_to
+          - target: network2
+            type: cloudify.relationships.connected_to
+
+      network1:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+        properties:
+          resource_id: network1
+
+      network2:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+        properties:
+          resource_id: network2
+
+  In the example above, network1 will be connected to a NIC preceding the one network2 will - however these wont be eth0/eth1, but rather eth1/eth2 - because by default, the management network will be prepended to the networks list (i.e. it'll be assigned to eth0).
+  To avoid this prepending, one should explicitly declare a relationship to the management network, where the network's represented in the blueprint by an existing resource (using the "use_external_resource" property).
+  This will cause the management network adhere the NICs ordering as the rest of them.
+  Example::
+
+    node_templates:
+      server:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
+        properties:
+          management_network_name: network2
+        relationships:
+          - target: network1
+            type: cloudify.relationships.connected_to
+          - target: network2
+            type: cloudify.relationships.connected_to
+          - target: network3
+            type: cloudify.relationships.connected_to
+
+      network1:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+        properties:
+          resource_id: network1
+
+      network2:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+        properties:
+          use_external_resource: true
+          resource_id: network2
+
+      network3:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Network
+        properties:
+          use_external_resource: true
+          resource_id: network3
+
+  In this example, "network2" represents the management network, yet it'll be connected to eth1, while "network1" will take eth0, and "network3" (which also happened to already exist) will get connected to eth2.
+
+      The server's property "management_network_name: network2" is not mandatory for this to work - this was just to make the example clear - yet the management network can also be inferred from the provider context (which is what happens when this property isn't explicitly set). Were the provider context to have "network2" set as the management network, this example would've worked just the same with this property omitted.
+
+Misc
+====
+
+* The plugin's operations are each **transactional**
+  (and therefore also retryable on failures),
+  yet not **idempotent**.
+  Attempting to execute the same operation twice is likely to fail.
+
+* Over this documentation, it's been mentioned multiple times that some configuration-saving information may be available in the Provider Context.
+  The Openstack manager blueprint and Openstack provider both create this relevant information,
+  and therefore if either was used for bootstrapping, the Provider Context will be available for the Openstack plugin to use.
+
+The exact details of the structure of the Openstack Provider Context are not documented since this feature is going through deprecation and will be replaced with a more advanced one.

+Nova-net Support
+================
+
+The Openstack plugin includes support for Nova-net mode -
+i.e. an Openstack installation which does not have the Networking API
+(Neutron service).
+
+In such an environment, there is but a single preconfigured private network,
+which all servers make use of automatically.
+There are no subnets, networks, routers or ports.
+Since these resource types don't exist,
+the plugin's equivalent types aren't valid to use in such an environment.
+
+There are, however, some resource types whose API is available via both the Nova and Neutron services - These had originally been on the Nova service,
+and later were moved and got extended implementation in the Neutron one,
+but were also kept in the Nova service for backward compatibility.
+
+For these resource types, the Openstack plugin defines two separate types - one in the plugin's standard types namespace (``cloudify.openstack.nodes.XXX``),
+which uses the newer and extended API via the Neutron service;
+and Another in a special namespace (``cloudify.openstack.nova_net.nodes.XXX``),
+which uses the older API via the Nova service.
+This is why you may notice two separate types defined for [Floating](#cloudifyopenstacknodesfloatingip) [IP](#cloudifyopenstacknovanetnodesfloatingip),
+as well as for [Security](#cloudifyopenstacknodessecuritygroup) [Group](#cloudifyopenstacknovanetnodessecuritygroup).
+
+
+To summarize, ensure that when working in a Nova-net Openstack environment,
+Neutron types aren't used - these include all types whose resources' APIs are natively available only via the Network API,
+as well as the types which are in the ``cloudify.openstack.nova_net.Nodes`` namespace.
+
+On the opposite side, when using an Openstack environment which supports Neutron,
+it's recommended to use the Neutron-versions of the relevant types
+(i.e. avoid any types defined under the
+``cloudify.openstack.nova_net.Nodes`` namespace),
+as they offer more advanced capabilities.
+However, it's important to mention that this is not required,
+and using the Nova-versions of some types in a Neutron-enabled environment is possible and will work as well.

+
+    An OpenStack server.
+
+
+.. cfy:node:: cloudify.openstack.nodes.WindowsServer
+
+    This type has the same properties and operations-mapping as the type above (as it derives from it), yet it overrides some of the agent and plugin installations operations-mapping derived from the built-in cloudify.nodes.Compute type. Use this type when working with a Windows server.
+
+    Additionally, the default value for the use_password property is overridden for this type, and is set to true. When using an image with a preset password, it should be modified to false.

+
+Types' Common Behaviors
+=======================
+
+Validations
+-----------
+
+All types offer the same base functionality for the ``cloudify.interfaces.validation.creation`` interface operation:
+
+  * If it's a new resource (``use_external_resource`` is set to ``false``), the basic validation is to verify there's enough quota to allocate a new resource of the given type.
+
+  * When [using an existing resource](#using-existing-resources), the validation ensures the resource indeed exists.
+
+
+Runtime Properties
+------------------
+
+Node instances of any of the types defined in this plugin get set with the following runtime properties during the ``cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle.create`` operation:
+
+  * ``external_id`` the Openstack ID of the resource
+  * ``external_type`` the Openstack type of the resource
+  * ``external_name`` the Openstack name of the resource
+
+The only exceptions are the two *floating-ip* types - Since floating-ip objects on Openstack don't have a name, the ``external_name`` runtime property is replaced with the ``floating_ip_address`` one, which holds the object's actual IP address.
+
+
+Default Resource Naming Convention
+----------------------------------
+
+When creating a new resource (i.e. ``use_external_resource`` is set to ``false``), its name on Openstack will be the value of its ``resource_id`` property. However, if this value is not provided, the name will default to the following schema:
+
+``<openstack-resource-type>_<deployment-id>_<node-instance-id>``
+
+For example, if a server node is defined as so::
+
+    node_templates:
+      myserver:
+        type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
+        ...
+
+Yet without setting the ``resource_id`` property, then the server's name on Openstack will be ``server_my-deployment_myserver_XXXXX`` (where the XXXXX is the autogenerated part of the node instance's ID).
+
+
+
+Using Existing Resources
+------------------------
+
+It is possible to use existing resources on Openstack - whether these have been created by a different Cloudify deployment or not via Cloudify at all.
+
+All Cloudify Openstack types have a property named ``use_external_resource``, whose default value is ``false``. When set to ``true``, the plugin will apply different semantics for each of the operations executed on the relevant node's instances. Specifically, in the case of the ``cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle.create`` operation, rather than creating a new resource on Openstack of the given type, the plugin will behave as follows:
+
+1. Try to find an existing resource on Openstack whose name (or IP, in the case of one of the **floating-ip** types) is the value specified for the ``resource_id`` property. If more than one is found, an error is raised.
+
+2. If no resource was found, the plugin will use the value of the ``resource_id`` property to look for the resource by ID instead. If a resource still isn't found, an error is raised.
+
+3. If a single resource was found, the plugin will use that resource, and set the node instance with the appropriate runtime properties according to the resource's data.
+
+
+The semantics of other operations are affected as well:
+
+* The ``cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle.start`` operation, where applicable, will only validate that the resource is indeed started, raising an error if it isn't.
+
+* The ``cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle.stop`` operation, where applicable, won't have any effect.
+
+* The ``cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle.delete`` operation will not actually delete the resource from Openstack (but will clear the runtime properties from the node instance).
+
+* The ``cloudify.interfaces.validation.creation`` operation will verify that a resource with the given name or ID indeed exists, or otherwise print a list of all available resources of the given type.
+
+* The ``cloudify.interfaces.relationship_lifecycle.establish`` operation will behave as normal if the related node is not set with ``use_external_resource`` as ``true``; However if both nodes have this property set to ``true``, the operation will only attempt to verify that they're indeed "connected" on Openstack as well ("connected" in this case also refers to a security-group imposed on a server, floating-ip associated with a server, etc.).
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+* As mentioned in the [Relationships section](#relationships), some relationships take effect in non-relationship operations. When ``use_external_resource`` is set to ``true``, the existence of such connections is validated as well.
+
+* Using an existing resource only makes sense for single-instance nodes.
+
+
+
+
+Relationships
+=============
+
+    Not all relationships have built-in types
+    (i.e., some types may simply get connected using standard Cloudify relationships such as ``cloudify.relationships.connected_to``).
+
+    Some relationships take effect in non-relationship operations,
+    e.g. a subnet which is connected to a network actually gets connected on subnet's creation
+    (in the ``cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle.create`` operation)
+    and not in a ``cloudify.interfaces.relationship_lifecycle.establish`` operation - this occurs whenever the connection information is required on resource creation.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.server_connected_to_port
+
+    A relationship for connecting a server to a port. The server will use this relationship to automatically connect to the port upon server creation.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.port_connected_to_security_group
+
+    A relationship for a port to a security group.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.server_connected_to_keypair
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.port_connected_to_subnet
+
+    A relationship for connecting a port to a subnet. This is useful when a network has multiple subnets, and a port should belong to a specific subnet on that network. The port will then receive some IP from that given subnet.
+
+    Note that when using this relationship in combination with the port type's property `fixed_ip`, the IP given should be on the CIDR of the subnet connected to the port.
+
+    *Note*: This relationship has no operations associated with it; The port will use this relationship to automatically connect to the subnet upon port creation.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.server_connected_to_security_group
+
+    A relationship for setting a security group on a server.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.subnet_connected_to_router
+
+    A relationship for connecting a subnet to a router.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.port_connected_to_floating_ip
+
+    A relationship for associating a floating ip with a port. If that port is later connected to a server, the server will be accessible via the floating IP.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.server_connected_to_floating_ip
+
+    A relationship for associating a floating ip with a server.
+
+
+.. cfy:rel:: cloudify.openstack.volume_attached_to_server
+
+    A relationship for attaching a volume to a server.
