To provision a Network Domain.

PS C:\> New-CaasNetworkDomain -Location "NA9" -Name "My test domain" -Description "the test domain" -Type Essentials


operation    : DEPLOY_NETWORK_DOMAIN
responseCode : IN_PROGRESS
message      : Request to deploy Network Domain 'My test domain' has been accepted and is being processed.
info         : {networkDomainId}
warning      :

To get the network domains in your MCP 2.0 datacenters

PS C:\> Get-CaasNetworkDomain


name            : My test domain
description     : the test domain
type            : ESSENTIALS
snatIpv4Address : 168.128.2.48

You can create a VLAN in your MCP 2.0 datacenters.

PS C:\> New-CaasVlan -NetworkDomainId "0481c6ef-d5e5-454f-a45d-096d8b59b104" -Name "Test VLAN" -Description "My first VLAN" -PrivateIpv4Ba

There is a new command to see the VLANs provisioned in your MCP 2.0 datacenters.

PS C:\>Get-CaasVlan


networkDomain      : DD.CBU.Compute.Api.Contracts.Network20.VlanTypeNetworkDomain
name               : Test VLAN

And of course, your existing functionality will still work.

Using Apache LibCloud with the Dimension Data API

Apache have a project called 'libcloud', which is a multi-cloud library for python. Dimension Data Cloud (formerly known as OpSource cloud) has been a supported platform for many years.

Here is how you download and use libcloud with our API.

Install libcloud using PIP
>pip install apache-libcloud

Open up the Python shell
>python

import the libcloud project
>>>from pprint import pprint
>>>from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
>>>from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

Set the driver as OpSource (Dimension Data Cloud)
>>>cls = get_driver(Provider.OPSOURCE)

Turn off SSL validation for testing, or read https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/other/ssl-certificate-validation.html
>>>import libcloud.security
>>>libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT = False

Set your credentials
>>>driver = cls('myusername','mypassword')

List the servers in your account.
>>> pprint(driver.list_nodes())

Note: LibCloud only supports the NA region at present.

Further details are available on the libcloud website..
