salt.cloud.clouds.joyent¶

Joyent Cloud Module¶

The Joyent Cloud module is used to interact with the Joyent cloud system.

Set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/joyent.conf:

my-joyent-config:
  # The Joyent login user
  user: fred
  # The Joyent user's password
  password: saltybacon
  # The location of the ssh private key that can log into the new VM
  private_key: /root/joyent.pem
  provider: joyent

When creating your profiles for the joyent cloud, add the location attribute to the profile, this will automatically get picked up when performing tasks associated with that vm. An example profile might look like:

joyent_512:
  provider: my-joyent-config
  size: Extra Small 512 MB
  image: centos-6
  location: us-east-1
