The Oslo VMware library provides common VMware-related utilities and API interaction patterns for OpenStack projects. It wraps the pyVmomi library for vSphere API access, offering simplified authentication, session management, and operations like VM creation, datastore management, and network configuration. Current version 4.9.0 requires Python >=3.10. Release cadence is tied to OpenStack releases, typically one per cycle.

VMwareAPISession
✓ from oslo_vmware import VMwareAPISession
✗ from oslo.vmware import VMwareAPISession

Initialize a VMware API session using environment variables for credentials. Replace VSPHERE_HOST, VSPHERE_USER, VSPHERE_PASSWORD with actual values.

import os.environ from oslo_vmware import VMwareAPISession session = VMwareAPISession( host=os.environ.get('VSPHERE_HOST', ''), username=os.environ.get('VSPHERE_USER', ''), password=os.environ.get('VSPHERE_PASSWORD', ''), api_retry_count=5, task_poll_interval=1.0 ) print('Connected to vSphere')
Debug
Known issues
breakingIn oslo_vmware 4.x, the import path changed from oslo.vmware to oslo_vmware. Code using the old dotted import will raise ModuleNotFoundError.
fix
Replace 'from oslo.vmware import ...' with 'from oslo_vmware import ...'.
affects: >=4.0.0
breakingThe minimum required Python version is now 3.10. Older Python versions are unsupported.
fix
Upgrade Python to 3.10 or later.
affects: >=4.9.0
deprecatedSupport for the 'insecure' parameter in VMwareAPISession is deprecated. Use the 'ca_file' parameter with a CA bundle instead.
fix
Replace 'insecure=True' with 'ca_file="/path/to/ca.crt"' or set the corresponding environment variable.
affects: >=4.7.0
gotchaSession creation fails without proper credentials. Ensure VSPHERE_HOST, VSPHERE_USER, and VSPHERE_PASSWORD are set in the environment, or pass them directly.
fix
Check that environment variables are defined or provide arguments to VMwareAPISession.
affects: all
