IBM::SoftLayer::Server

This resource type represents a server on SoftLayer. It extends the type OS::Nova::Server.

Table 1. Properties
Name	Type	Required	Description
admin_pass	String	False	The administrator password for the SoftLayer server.
admin_user	String	False	Name of the administrative user to use on the SoftLayer server. This property will be removed from Juno in favor of the default cloud-init user that is set up for each image (for example, "ubuntu" for Ubuntu 12.04+, "fedora" for Fedora 19+ and "cloud-user" for CentOS/Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5).
availability_zone	String	False	Name of the availability zone for SoftLayer server placement.
block_device_mapping	List	False	Block device mappings for this SoftLayer server.
config_drive	String	False	Value for config drive either `boolean`, or `volume-id`.
diskConfig	String	False	Controls how the disk is partitioned when the server is created. Valid values are `AUTO` and `MANUAL`.
flavor	String	True	The ID or name of the flavor to boot onto.
flavor_update_policy	String	False	Policy governing how to apply a flavor update; either by requesting a server resize or by replacing the entire SoftLayer server. Valid values are `RESIZE` and `REPLACE`.
image	String	False	The ID or name of the image to boot with.
image_update_policy	String	False	Policy governing how to apply an image-id update; either by requesting a server rebuild or by replacing the entire SoftLayer server. Valid values are `REPLACE` (the default) `REBUILD` `REBUILD_PRESERVE_EPHEMERAL`
key_name	String	False	Name of key pair to inject into the SoftLayer server.
metadata	Map	False	Arbitrary key/value metadata to store for this SoftLayer server. Both keys and values must be 255 characters or less. Non-string values are serialized to JSON (and the serialized string must be 255 characters or less).
name	String	False	SoftLayer server name.
networks	List	False	An ordered list of NICs to be added to this SoftLayer server, with information about connected networks, fixed IP addresses, and ports.
personality	Map	False	A map of files to create or overwrite on the SoftLayer server at boot time. Keys are file names and values are the file contents.
reservation_id	String	False	A UUID for the set of SoftLayer servers requested.
scheduler_hints	String	False	Arbitrary key-value pairs that are specified by the client to help boot a SoftLayer server.
security_groups	List	False	List of security group names or IDs. Cannot be used if Neutron ports are associated with this SoftLayer server; assign security groups to the ports instead.
software_config_transport	String	False	Specifies how the SoftLayer server receives the metadata that is required for software configuration. `POLL_SERVER_CFN` allows calls to the Cloud Formation API action DescribeStackResource authenticated with the provided key pair. `POLL_SERVER_HEAT` allows calls to the Heat API action resource-show by using the provided keystone credentials.
user_data	String	False	User data script to be run by cloud-init.
user_data_format	String	False	How the user_data is formatted for the SoftLayer server. For `HEAT_CFNTOOLS`, the user_data is bundled as part of the `heat-cfntools cloud-init` boot configuration data. For `RAW`, the `user_data` is passed to Nova unmodified. For `SOFTWARE_CONFIG`, the `user_data` is bundled as part of the software configuration data, and metadata is derived from any associated SoftwareDeployment resources.

Table 2. Custom properties
Name	Type	Required	Description
hourly	String	False	Specify the SoftLayer server billing interval, hourly (default) or monthly.
datacenter	String	False	Specify the short name of the data center in which the VS should reside.
dedicated	String	False	Specify where the SoftLayer server should be housed, on a shared host (default) or dedicated host. Specifying a dedicated host will incur a fee on your account.
disk_type	String	False	Specify if the SoftLayer server uses a local disk or SAN.

Table 3. Attributes
Name	Description
accessIPv4	The manually assigned alternative public IPv4 address of the SoftLayer server.
accessIPv6	The manually assigned alternative public IPv6 address of the SoftLayer server.
addresses	A dict of all network addresses with corresponding port_id values.
first_address	A convenience attribute to fetch the first assigned network address or an empty string if nothing is assigned. The result might not be predictable if the SoftLayer server has addresses from more than one network.
instance_name	The AWS compatible instance name.
name	The name of the SoftLayer server.
networks	A dict of assigned network addresses of the form: `{\"public\": [ip1, ip2...], \"private\": [ip3, ip4]}`.
passwords	The user and passwords of the SoftLayer VM.
show	A dict of all SoftLayer server details as returned by the API.
uuid	The UUID of the virtual machine.
