Introduction
============

`Scaleway <https://scaleway.com>`_ is a cloud provider supported by Ansible, version 2.6 or higher via a dynamic inventory plugin and modules.
Those modules are:

- :ref:`scaleway_sshkey_module`: adds a public SSH key from a file or value to the Packet infrastructure. Every subsequently-created device will have this public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys.
- :ref:`scaleway_compute_module`: manages servers on Scaleway. You can use this module to create, restart and delete servers.
- :ref:`scaleway_volume_module`: manages volumes on Scaleway.

.. note::
   This guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works.
   If you're not, have a look at :ref:`ansible_documentation` before getting started.

.. _scaleway_requirements:

Requirements
============

The Scaleway modules and inventory script connect to the Scaleway API using `Scaleway REST API <https://developer.scaleway.com>`_.
To use the modules and inventory script you'll need a Scaleway API token.
You can generate an API token via the Scaleway console `here <https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/credentials>`__.
The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Scaleway API token in an environment variable:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ export SCW_TOKEN=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444

If you're not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules using the ``api_token`` argument.

If you want to use a new SSH keypair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa

If you want to use an existing keypair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.

.. _scaleway_add_sshkey:

How to add an SSH key?
======================

Connection to Scaleway Compute nodes use Secure Shell.
SSH keys are stored at the account level, which means that you can re-use the same SSH key in multiple nodes.
The first step to configure Scaleway compute resources is to have at least one SSH key configured.

:ref:`scaleway_sshkey_module` is a module that manages SSH keys on your Scaleway account.
You can add an SSH key to your account by including the following task in a playbook:

.. code-block:: yaml

    - name: "Add SSH key"
      scaleway_sshkey:
        ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
        state: "present"

The ``ssh_pub_key`` parameter contains your ssh public key as a string. Here is an example inside a playbook:


.. code-block:: yaml

    - name: Test SSH key lifecycle on a Scaleway account
      hosts: localhost
      gather_facts: no
      environment:
        SCW_API_KEY: ""

      tasks:

        - scaleway_sshkey:
            ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAAB...424242 developer@example.com"
            state: present
          register: result

        - assert:
            that:
              - result is success and result is changed

.. _scaleway_create_instance:

How to create a compute instance?
=================================

Now that we have an SSH key configured, the next step is to spin up a server!
:ref:`scaleway_compute_module` is a module that can create, update and delete Scaleway compute instances:

.. code-block:: yaml

    - name: Create a server
      scaleway_compute:
        name: foobar
        state: present
        image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
        organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
        region: ams1
        commercial_type: START1-S

Here are the parameter details for the example shown above:

- ``name`` is the name of the instance (the one that will show up in your web console).
- ``image`` is the UUID of the system image you would like to use.
  A list of all images is available for each availability zone.
- ``organization`` represents the organization that your account is attached to.
- ``region`` represents the Availability Zone which your instance is in (for this example, par1 and ams1).
- ``commercial_type`` represents the name of the commercial offers.
  You can check out the Scaleway pricing page to find which instance is right for you.

Take a look at this short playbook to see a working example using ``scaleway_compute``:

.. code-block:: yaml

    - name: Test compute instance lifecycle on a Scaleway account
      hosts: localhost
      gather_facts: no
      environment:
        SCW_API_KEY: ""

      tasks:

        - name: Create a server
          register: server_creation_task
          scaleway_compute:
            name: foobar
            state: present
            image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
            organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
            region: ams1
            commercial_type: START1-S
            wait: true

        - debug: var=server_creation_task

        - assert:
            that:
              - server_creation_task is success
              - server_creation_task is changed

        - name: Run it
          scaleway_compute:
            name: foobar
            state: running
            image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
            organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
            region: ams1
            commercial_type: START1-S
            wait: true
            tags:
              - web_server
          register: server_run_task

        - debug: var=server_run_task

        - assert:
            that:
              - server_run_task is success
              - server_run_task is changed

.. _scaleway_dynamic_inventory_tutorial:

Dynamic Inventory Script
========================

Ansible ships with :ref:`scaleway_inventory`.
You can now get a complete inventory of your Scaleway resources through this plugin and filter it on
different parameters (``regions`` and ``tags`` are currently supported).

Let's create an example!
Suppose that we want to get all hosts that got the tag web_server.
Create a file named ``scaleway_inventory.yml`` with the following content:

.. code-block:: yaml

    plugin: scaleway
    regions:
      - ams1
      - par1
    tags:
      - web_server

This inventory means that we want all hosts that got the tag ``web_server`` on the zones ``ams1`` and ``par1``.
Once you have configured this file, you can get the information using the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ ansible-inventory --list -i scaleway_inventory.yml

The output will be:

.. code-block:: yaml

    {
        "_meta": {
            "hostvars": {
                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d": {
                    "ansible_verbosity": 6,
                    "arch": "x86_64",
                    "commercial_type": "START1-S",
                    "hostname": "foobar",
                    "ipv4": "192.0.2.1",
                    "organization": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444",
                    "state": "running",
                    "tags": [
                        "web_server"
                    ]
                }
            }
        },
        "all": {
            "children": [
                "ams1",
                "par1",
                "ungrouped",
                "web_server"
            ]
        },
        "ams1": {},
        "par1": {
            "hosts": [
                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
            ]
        },
        "ungrouped": {},
        "web_server": {
            "hosts": [
                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
            ]
        }
    }

As you can see, we get different groups of hosts.
``par1`` and ``ams1`` are groups based on location.
``web_server`` is a group based on a tag.

In case a filter parameter is not defined, the plugin supposes all values possible are wanted.
This means that for each tag that exists on your Scaleway compute nodes, a group based on each tag will be created.

Scaleway S3 object storage
==========================

`Object Storage <https://www.scaleway.com/object-storage>`_ allows you to store any kind of objects (documents, images, videos, and so on).
As the Scaleway API is S3 compatible, Ansible supports it natively through the modules: :ref:`s3_bucket_module`, :ref:`aws_s3_module`.

You can find many examples in the `scaleway_s3 integration tests <https://github.com/ansible/ansible-legacy-tests/tree/devel/test/legacy/roles/scaleway_s3>`_.

.. code-block:: yaml+jinja

        # "requester_pays:" is mandatory because Scaleway doesn't implement related API
        # another way is to use aws_s3 and "mode: create" !
        - s3_bucket:
            name: '{{ bucket_name }}'
            requester_pays:

        - name: Another way to create the bucket

            encrypt: false
          register: bucket_creation_check

        - name: add something in the bucket
          aws_s3:
