This very simple example shows you how to delete snapshots taken of rackspace cloud volumes older than N days. In this example N days will be 7 days.
This example makes the following assumptions:
-you have a Pyrax installed
-you have your Rackspace API credentials key.
-you know your Rackspace volume uid – which looks like this: 56568786-4659-67575-9ab3-6767968
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | import pyrax from datetime import timedelta, datetime pyrax.set_setting("identity_type", "rackspace") pyrax.set_credentials('daveid', '56576767ee04e6a80691cf565769b345b') cbs = pyrax.cloud_blockstorage snapshots = cbs.list_snapshots() for snapshot in snapshots: create_date = snapshot.created_at create_date = create_date.split(".")[0] create_date = datetime.strptime(create_date, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') if datetime.now() - create_date > timedelta(days = 7): print "older" snapshot.delete() |
