Support clouds.yaml files

[emonty]

Keystone with auth plugins gets ... complex. As a result, openstack spawned the os-client-config library this last cycle, which, in addition to handling normal openrc env vars, allows the configuration of multiple clouds - and features of known providers in a yaml file:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config/

It would be super cool if gophercloud supported reading the same file. I'd be happy to work on adding the support - but I figured I should check first to see if it's a feature you'd take. I would imagine given the way env vars work - perhaps 'openstack.AuthOptionsFromYaml()' ?

I think that sounds great, and that it's definitely a feature worth having.

[emonty]

Sweet! I'll get to work on it soon!

@emonty any news?

[raphink]

This would be very useful. @emonty would you duplicate the vendor info, or import it from the python lib somehow?

[emonty]

@mcanevet hoping to work on it RSN. (sorry for the delay) @raphink We're also adding clouds.yaml support for javascript, so what I'm thinking is to split the vendor info into its own repo that we can either import or vendor or submodule or something waves hands

[raphink]

Thanks for the answer. We would like to use this feature in terraform using this lib, and we'd be willing to contribute in the dev.

[jrperritt]

Note that it is too late for this feature to make it into this repo. See #592

[emonty]

@jrperritt thanks! I'll get a PR done for the new repo whenever it's ready for such a thing.

@emonty any news on this?
