Libcloud 3.8.0 Released

By Tomaz Muraus on Aug 10, 2023

We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.8.0.

This release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

Highlights include:

Performance improvements in the storage drivers
Removal of 18 drivers for providers that are no longer active (they went out of business, have been acquired, or similar).

A list of all the changes can be found at https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.8.0.

In addition to the end-user visible changes, we have made various changes to our development process and practices to better follow and align with modern Python development and packaging best practices.

Tooling (pylint, mypy, bandit, isort, black, etc.) config options have been migrated into pyproject.yaml file.
Package setup and build-related metadata have been migrated from setup.py and setup.cfg to pyproject.toml.
The unsafe “setup.py test” wrapper command has been removed in favor of invoking pytest directly.
The “build” PyPi package is now used for creating release artifacts (sdist, wheel) in an isolated virtual environment.

Libcloud 3.7.0 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 08, 2023

We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.7.0.

This release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Highlights include:

Improvements in the CloudSigma compute driver
Support for af-south-1 region in the Amazon S3 storage driver
Bug fix for OAuth2 desktop client authentication in the Google Cloud Platform compute driver
Support for Python 3.6 has been dropped

A list of all the changes can be found at https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.7.0.

Note on Python 3.6 support

Python 3.6 support has been dropped in Libcloud v3.7.0.

Python 3.6 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year now (https://endoflife.date/python) and a lot of libraries (including some we depend on) have already dropped support for it.

Last release which still supports Python 3.6 is Libcloud v3.6.1.

Note on code style change (developers only)

To make formatting and styling in our code base more consistent, we have re-formatted all the code with black (https://github.com/psf/black) and pyupgrade Python 3.5+ (https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade) and we will automatically enforce black code style (https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) and pyupgrade checks for all the new code going forward.

This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code will be using the same style.

Download

The release can can be downloaded from https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html or installed using pip:

pip install "apache-libcloud==3.7.0"

Libcloud 3.4.1 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Nov 15, 2021

We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.4.1.

This is a bug fix release which fixes an installation bug that was inadvertently introduced in v3.4.0.

That bug broke installation under Python 3.5 and it also prevented Libcloud from being installed inside the same (virtual) environment where older version of the requests library was already installed or where some other dependency depends on older version of the requests library.

Note on Python 3.5 support

Libcloud v3.4.x will be the last release series which still supports Python 3.5.

Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year (https://endoflife.date/python) now and a lot of libraries (including some we depend on) have already dropped support for it.

This is making it increasingly hard for us to still support Python 3.5 since it requires a bunch of edge cases in workarounds in our code and build system.

Note on code style change (developers only)

To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have re-formatted all the code with black (https://github.com/psf/black) and we will automatically enforce black code style (https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for all the new code going forward.

This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code will be using the same style.

Libcloud 3.0.0-rc1 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 29, 2020

We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.0.0-rc1.

This is the first release candidate for Libcloud v3.0.0 which includes many changes, the biggest one being dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3 < 3.5.

Since this is a first release which drops support for those Python versions, we want to give our users some time to opt-in and test it and verify everything works as expected, before we produce a stable v3.0.0 release.

Other highlights include:

Type annotations for the base storage API
Various improvements in the Azure Blobs driver
New standard “prefix” keyword argument in the {list,iterate}_container_objects methods
2 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD)

If no major issues are found, this release candidate (with any other fixes which accumulate in trunk until then) will become a stable v3.0.0 release some time in the near future.

Keep in mind that this is a pre-release so it won’t be installed by pip by default when you run pip install apache-libcloud.

To install it, you need to explicitly specify a version as shown in the Download section below.

A list of all the changes can be found at https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3-0-0-rc1.

Libcloud 2.8.0 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 02, 2020

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 2.8.0.

This release includes various changes, most notable ones being:

Distribution now includes py.typed file which signals mypy that this package contains type annotations (currently only for the base compute API).
Fix wheel metadata. There was a bug where conditional dependencies were not specified correctly so it would try to install typing and enum34 dependency on Python versions where there is not needed.
Fix get_driver() bug / regression not working if the provider argument was a string and not a Provider ENUM.

Full change log can be found at https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-v2-8-0.

Dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4

The plan was for v2.7.0 to be the last major release before v3.0.0 which drops support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, but this has changed since v2.7.0 introduced some small regressions / bugs which needed to be fixed.

If no major issues are found in this release, this will be the last release before v3.0.0 which drops support for those Python versions.

For more information on dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, please refer to the v2.7.0 release announcement https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2019/12/09/libcloud-2-7-0-released.html.

Libcloud 2.7.0 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Dec 09, 2019

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 2.7.0.

Among various smaller bug fixes, this release also includes a couple of big new features.

Highlights include:

Initial type annotations / hints support for the base Libcloud compute API.
S3 driver class has been updated to support region argument in the same manner as other drivers which support multiple regions (no more messy class per region approach). For backward compatibility reasons, “class per region” approach will still be supported until the next major release.
New start_node() and stop_node() method have been added to the base Libcloud compute API and the existing drivers which implement ex_start_node() and ex_stop_node() methods have been updated to implement those new methods. Old ex_ methods will continue to work for backward compatibility reasons.

Full change log can be found at https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-v2-7-0.

Dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4

Libcloud was among some of the other early larger Python projects which have supported Python 2.x and Python 3.x simultaneously using a single code base from 2011.

Over the years, the landscape has changed a lot. A lot of the users now use Python 3 as a default and a lot of the popular Python projects now not only support Python 3, but also make Python 3 the only supported Python version.

In addition to that, Python 2.7 will not be maintained past January 2020.

We have decided to sign the Python 3 statement and drop support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 in the next major release (v3.0.0) which will coincide with Python 2.7 EOL early next year.

This means that Libcloud v2.7.0 will be the last major release which still supports Python 2.7 and 3.4.

The change itself is still work in progress. People who are interested in it can check the following PR https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/1377.

How does this affect me?

If you still need to use Python 2.7 or Python 3.4 after Libcloud v3.0.0 is out, you will be able to do that by utilizing one of the older Libcloud releases which still supports that Python version.

All the new feature development and improvements will land in new release which support Python >= 3.5 only, but we may still do a release in the v2.7.x release series if a major bug or a security issue is found.

How does this affect the Libcloud development team?

Supporting Python 2.x and Python 3.x through a single code base was never totally trivial.

This is especially true for our project which doesn’t use six Python 2 / 3 compatibility library, but uses custom glue / wrapper code for that.

There are multiple reasons why we didn’t use six - one is that we still needed to support Python 2.5 which is not supported by six and another one is that we didn’t want to introduce another dependency on the end user in the days where Python packaging was still very much in the infancy.

Dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 will allow us to streamline our code and remove a lot of the code which is not needed anymore.

This will result in easier development and cleaner code.

Libcloud 2.2.1 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Sep 21, 2017

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 2.2.1!

This is a first patch release in the 2.2.x series and as such, it includes some bug fixes and improvements.

Important breaking change- Amazon EC2 driver changes

The Amazon EC2 API was updated to consolidate the regional-based drivers into a single driver with a region argument in the constructor.

Amazon Instances should now be instantiated using the following syntax:

    from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

cls = get_driver(Provider.EC2)
driver = cls('access key', 'secret key', region='us-east-1')

This brings the Amazon API inline with the other drivers, makes it easier to maintain and switch between regions.

Bug fixes

General

Fix a bug with consuming stdout and stderr in the paramiko SSH client which would manifest itself under very rare condition when a consumed chunk only contained a single byte or part of a multi byte UTF-8 character. [Lakshmi Kannan, Tomaz Muraus]
Increase default chunk size from 1024 to 4096 bytes in the paramiko SSH client. This results in smaller number of receive calls on the average. [Tomaz Muraus]
Fix to Dimension Data API address for Middle-East and Africa (GITHUB-700) [Anthony Shaw]
Throw a more user-friendly exception on “No address associated with hostname”. (GITHUB-711, GITHUB-714, LIBCLOUD-803) [Tomaz Muraus, Scott Crunkleton]
Remove deprecated provider constants with the region in the name and related driver classes (e.g. EC2_US_EAST, etc.).

Those drivers have moved to single provider constant + region constructor argument model. [Tomaz Muraus]

New or deprecated drivers

Compute

Deprecated IBM SCE, HP Helion, OpSource, Ninefold and CloudFrames drivers, removed driver code and tests. (GITHUB-701, LIBCLOUD-801) [Anthony Shaw]
Introduced error messages (libcloud.compute.deprecated) for deprecated drivers (GITHUB-701, LIBCLOUD-801) [Anthony Shaw]
New Compute drivers- BSNL, Indosat, Med-1, NTT-America, Internet Solutions (GITHUB-700) [Anthony Shaw]
New driver for Aliyun Elastic Compute Service. (LIBCLOUD-802, GITHUB-712) [Sam Song]

Storage

Added Outscale storage driver (GITHUB-730) [Javier M. Mellid]
New driver for Aliyun OSS Storage Service. (LIBCLOUD-802, GITHUB-712) [Sam Song]

Loadbalancer

New driver for Aliyun SLB Loadbalancer Service. (LIBCLOUD-802, GITHUB-712) [Sam Song]

DNS

Added NearlyFreeSpeech.net (NSFN) driver [Ken Drayer]
Added Lua DNS driver [Oltjano Terpollari]
Added NSOne driver [Oltjano Terpollari]

Bug fixes

Fix a bug in the GoDaddy driver - make sure host attribute on the connection class is correctly set to the hostname. [Tomaz Muraus]
Fix handling of MX records in the Gandi driver. (GITHUB-718) [Ryan Lee]

Improvements

Compute

Introduce new list_regions class method on the base driver class. This method is to be used with provider drivers which support multiple regions and region constructor argument. It allows users to enumerate available / supported regions. [Tomaz Muraus]
[dimension data] added support for VMWare tools VM information inside list_nodes responses (GITHUB-734) [Jeff Dunham]
[ec2] added ex_encrypted and ex_kms_key_id optional parameters to the create volume method (GITHUB-729) [Viktor Ognev]
[dimension data] added support for managing host anti-affinity rules, added paging support to all supported calls and added support for requesting priority ordering when creating ACL rules (GITHUB-726) [Jeff Dunham]
Addition of Dimension Data Australia federal government region to dimension data drivers. (GITHUB-700) [Anthony Shaw]
[openstack] when creating floating IPs, added pool_id as an optional argument (GITHUB-725) [marko-p]
[google compute] Added setMachineType method to allow for changing sizes of instances (GITHUB-721) [Eric Johnson]
[google compute] allow bypassing image search in standard project list (GITHUB-713) [Max Illfelder]
Add support for requesting a MKS token for accessing the remote console in VMware vCloud driver (GITHUB-706) [Juan Font Alonso]
Add support in VMware vCloud driver for v5.5 API, with snapshot support (GITHUB-658) [Juan Font Alonso]

Storage

Improvements to Google Auth for Storage and Compute and MIME bug fix (LIBCLOUD-800, GITHUB-689) [Scott Crunkleton]
Implement get_container, get_object and upload_object_via_stream methods in the Backblaze B2 storage driver.

Note: Backblaze API doesn’t upload streaming uploads so when using upload_object_via_stream whole file is read and buffered in memory. (GITHUB-696) [Jay jshridha]

Backup

Dimension Data - added additional testing, fixed bug on client response naming, added support for adding backup clients to a backup enabled node. (GITHUB-692, GITHUB-693, GITHUB-695) [Jeff Dunham]

Libcloud 0.14.0 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 22, 2014

We are pleased to announce a long awaited Libcloud 0.14.0 release.

This is a first release in the 0.14 series which means it brings many (and I mean many!) new features, changes and improvements.

Release highlights

To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved away from the “one class per region” to a single class plus “region” argument model. Those drivers include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles.
Addition of a programmatic way of updating the pricing file and ability to use a custom pricing file. For more information, please see https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#using-a-custom-pricing-file
Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers: OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2
Unification of the extension arguments for handling security groups in the EC2 and OpenStack driver
New standard compute API for SSH key-pair management
Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver
New compute and load balancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE)
Ability to export Libcloud’s DNS zone to BIND zone format
and much more!

Full change log can be found here and here (keep in mind that this release also includes all the changes from 0.14.0-beta3).

Libcloud 0.13.3 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Dec 31, 2013

This release fixes a security issue with a potential leak of data contained on a destroyed DigitalOcean node. Only users who are using a DigitalOcean driver are affected.

Details about the vulnerability

DigitalOcean recently changed the default API behavior from scrub to non-scrub when destroying a VM without notifying the customers and API consumers.

Libcloud prior to this release doesn’t explicitly send “scrub_data” query parameter when destroying a node. This means nodes which are destroyed using Libcloud are vulnerable to later customers stealing data contained on them.

This release fixes that by always sending “scrub_data” query parameter when destroying a DigitalOcean node.

If you are using a DigitalOcean driver, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade (or downgrade if you are using 0.14.0-beta3 beta release) to this release.

For more information, please see the Security page.

Download

Libcloud 0.13.3 can be downloaded from https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html

or installed using pip:

pip install apache-libcloud==0.13.3

It is possible that the file hasn’t been synced to all the mirrors yet. If this is the case, please use the main Apache mirror - https://www.apache.org/dist/libcloud.

Upgrading

If you have installed Libcloud using pip you can also use it to upgrade it:

pip install --upgrade apache-libcloud==0.13.3

Documentation

Regular and API documentation is available at https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.

Libcloud 0.14.0-beta3 released

By Tomaz Muraus on Nov 21, 2013

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.14.0-beta3, a first (beta) release in the 0.14.0 series.

The reason this is a beta and not a final release is that it includes some pretty big changes (most notably the “region” argument change). I would like those changes to get some more real-life testing before doing a final release.

Being a first release in the 0.14.0 series means it brings many (and I mean many!) new features, changes and improvements.

Release highlights

To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved away from the “one class per region” to a single class plus “region” argument model. Those drivers include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles.
Addition of a programmatic way of updating the pricing file and ability to use a custom pricing file. For more information, please see the documentation
Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers: OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2
Unification of the extension arguments for handling security groups in the EC2 and OpenStack driver
Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver
New compute and loadbalancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE)
Ability to export Libcloud’s DNS zone to BIND zone format
and much more!

Some of the changes noted above are also backward incompatible. For more information on what has changed and how to update your code to work with a new release, please visit the Upgrade Notes section in our documentation.

Other non-code changes worth a mention

Tests now also run on travis-ci - https://travis-ci.org/apache/libcloud
New documentation is now also available on RTD - https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Full change log can be found here.

Libcloud 0.5.0 released

By Tomaz Muraus on May 25, 2011

Hello all,

I would like to announce Libcloud 0.5.0. This version represents a big milestone, because it includes many new features, drivers, improvement and two totally new API’s - storage and load-balancers.

Major changes and features since the last release

New Storage API

Storage API which allows you to manage cloud storage has been added to the core. Currently two provider drivers are available (Rackspace Cloud Files and Amazon S3), but you can expect more drivers in the future releases.

New load-balancer API

Load-balancer API which allows you to manage load-balancers as a service (LBaaS) has been added to the core. Currently two provider drivers are available (Rackspace and GoGrid), but you can expect more drivers in the future releases.

New compute drivers

This release includes 5 new compute drivers. The compute API now supports a total of 24 different providers.

Bluebox (contributed by Christian Paredes)
Gandi.net (contributed by Aymeric Barantal)
Nimbus (contributed by David LaBissoniere)
OpenStack (contributed by Roman Bogorodskiy)
Opsource.net cloud (contributed by Joe Miller)

API changes

To support new services, core Libcloud API had to be refactored. The library now consists of three top-level modules:

libcloud.compute.* (everything related to the compute has been moved here)
libcloud.storage.* (new place for the storage API)
libcloud.loadbalancer.* (new place for the load-balancer API)

Importing stuff from the old location (e.g. from libcloud.providers import get_driver) should still work, but you will receive a deprecation warning.

You are encouraged to update your code to use the new module locations. The old paths will be fully deprecated and removed in version 0.6.0.

Other notable changes

All the pricing data has been moved to a separate JSON file. This should make updating pricing a lot easier.

For a full list of changes, please check the CHANGES file < https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/CHANGES>.

Download

Libcloud 0.5.0 can be downloaded from http://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html or install it using pip - pip install apache-libcloud

Documentation

For the API documentation, please refer to https://libcloud.apache.org/apidocs/0.5.0/

For a real world example, check the example_{compute,storage,balancer}.py files which are located in the root directory.

We have been pretty busy with this release so we currently don’t have any articles about the new APIs on the website yet, but we will try to add them this week.

Bugs / Issues

If you find any bug or issue, please report it on our issue tracker ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD).

Attaching an example or test which reproduces it would be ideal
