Overview

These files are used to create a Turbonomic action server. This action server handles Turbonomic virtual machine scale actions for virtual machines deployed by a CAM service.

Prerequisites

1. A Turbonomic instance.
2. A virtual machine to host the action server.
   • The virtual machine must be accessible using an SSH key.
   • The virtual machine must have Python 3 installed.
   • The following Python packages are required: logging, os, requests, sys and time. Use pip3 to install these packages.

Setting up the action server

1. ssh into the virtual machine.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Set folder permissions: chmod -R 755 ./CAM_Turbonomic_Action_Server
4. Edit file ./CAM_Turbonomic_Action_Server/actions/settings.ini 
5. Update the Cloud Automation Manager connection information: 

[cam]
auth_url=https://cp-console.apps.xxx.com
cam_url=https://cam.apps.xxx.com
cam user=my_user
cam pw=my_pw
