OpenStack Command Line Tool Examples

Because command output would make this document long, much of it will be omitted from the examples.

Working with Zones

Create a zone with the following command:

$ openstack zone create --email admin@example.com example.com.
+----------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field          | Value                                |

See the new zone in your list of zones with the following command:

$ openstack zone list

Display a specific zone with either of these commands; most zone commands accept either the zone_id or name attribute:

$ openstack zone show example.com.
$ openstack zone show 388814ef-3c5d-415e-a866-5b1d13d78dae

Update the zone with this command:

$ openstack zone set --description "Description" example.com.

Delete the zone with this command:

$ openstack zone delete example.com.

Using the zone above, create a recordset with the following command:

$ openstack recordset create example.com. --type A www --records 192.0.2.20
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                                |

+-------------+--------------------------------------+

Multiple records can be provided for a specific recordset type:

$ openstack recordset create example.com. --type A www --records 192.0.2.20 192.0.2.21

See the new recordset in the list of recordsets with the following command:

$ openstack recordset list example.com.

Display a specific recordset:

$ openstack recordset show example.com. www.example.com.

Update a specific recordset:

$ openstack recordset set example.com. www.example.com. --ttl 10000 --records 192.0.2.20 192.0.2.21

Delete a recordset:

$ openstack recordset delete example.com. www.example.com.

Working with PTR Records

Reverse DNS for Neutron Floating IPs can be managed with the “ptr” subcommand.

+-------------+------------------------------------------------+

List all PTR records:

$ openstack ptr record list

Show a PTR record:

$ openstack ptr record show RegionOne:5c02c519-4928-4a38-bd10-c748c200912f

Delete a PTR record:
