The current 3 regions are:
cbk
(Berlin)dbl
(Berlin)fes
(Frankfurt)Since 2024, a fourth region, dus2
(Düsseldorf), is visible in the OpenStack catalog but is not yet publicly available.
Once the region is selected you can start creating resources in that region.
The default region is defined in the 'openrc' file in the environment variable OS_REGION_NAME
. For your own comfort you can create one 'openrc' file per region and adjust OS_REGION_NAME
in each file.
Using the username and password (API credentials) that were provided by SysEleven source the 'openrc' file and enable the CLI client to talk to the SysEleven Stack.
When using the openstack client you can select the region by setting the OS_REGION_NAME
variable accordingly. As an alternative you can override it with the command line option --os-region-name <region name>
.
Note: if you don't specify any region name in the openrc
file or on the command line, the OpenStack client may pick a region in an unpredictable way, depending on what service you try to use.
The following example shows how to use it:
# openstack --os-region-name <region name> <openstack sub command>
openstack --os-region-name cbk server list

Once the region is selected you can start using resources via API and templates.
