The PNDA CLI is the interface used to execute operational tasks on PNDA clusters.
The vision for this sub-project is that it eventually replaces all the individual 'template' repositories in PNDA with one common code base, presenting the end user with a unified interface to several different 'back ends'.
At present, the PNDA CLI supports three back ends -
- Creating PNDA on AWS using CloudFormation
- Creating PNDA on Openstack using Heat templates
- Creating PNDA on an existing server cluster
The operational tasks that are fully automated today are -
- Creating PNDA
- Expanding PNDA
- Deleting PNDA
Replacement of failed nodes is supported through a combination of manual steps and use of the 'expand' verb.
