Challenge 10 script

Below is the output and results from script #10 from the api-challenge.
The script shows more advance example how consume cloud resources like cloud servers, cloud load balances, cloud files and cloud dns. It does it by building a simple solution.

The script can be repeatedly run with the option -d otherwise it stops if any of the cloud objects it wants to create already exist.
Depending on the obligatory -n options it will create cloud objects with predictable names.
Below is an example what objects it creates and what the naming conversion is.

# python challenge10.py

    usage: challenge10.py [-h] [-v] [-d] [ -s ssh-key ] [ -e error-page ] [ -c container-name ] [ -i image-id ] [ -f flavor-id ] -n FQDN-name

    image-id -f flavor-id
        -h - usage help
        -v - verbose / debug output
        -d - delete objects if they existed in cloud before creating new one
        -n - FQDN name like www.myexample.com
        -s - path to your ssh public key (not priv!)
        -e - path to a html file that will be served from the LB when all pool members are down
        -c - name of cloud files container-name to store the backup data
        -i - specify image-id or use the default for Ubuntu 10.04
        -f - specify flavor-id or use the default for the smallest cloud server
