This is a client for OpenStack Nova API. There’s a Python API (the novaclient
module), and a deprecated
command-line script (installed as nova).
Each implements the entire OpenStack Nova API.
You’ll need credentials for an OpenStack cloud that implements the Compute API in order to use the nova client.
