cli-cloudlets

Provides a way to interact with the Akamai Cloudlets via Open APIs. Provides various functionality such as searching policies, retrieving, updating, and activating policy versions.

Akamai CLI Install

%  akamai install cloudlets

Requirements

• Python 3+

Prerequisites - Setup API Credentials

In order to use this module, you need to:

• Set up your credential .edgerc files as described in the Create authentication credentials
• When working through this process you need to give your API credential the Cloudlets Policy Manager grant. The section in your configuration file should be called cloudlets.
• If you wish to override, you may also use the --section <section_name> to use the specific section credentials from your .edgerc file

[cloudlets]
client_secret = [CLIENT_SECRET]
host = [HOST]
access_token = [ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE]
client_token = [CLIENT_TOKEN_HERE]

Functionality

Here is a summary of the current functionality:

• Display available cloudlet types based on account
• List all cloudlet policies (search by name and/or cloudlet-type)
• Get policy endpoints schema
• Retrieve cloudlet policy version rules
• Get status of cloudlet policy version on each network and associated property manager
• Update policy version rules
• Clone a cloudlet policy (from an existing one)
• Create a cloudlet policy
• Activate policy version to staging or production network
• View activation history of the policy version to staging or production network
