Week 1
Google Summer of Code 2019 coding period started from 27-May-2019. Scorelab requires us to write weekly updates. This blog post covers whatever I did in the first week since it’s inception.
So, a little to what I have been up to. The end goal is to add two more providers to NodeCloud, i.e DigitalOcean & AliCloud. NodeCloud is Node.js based API for open cloud. It works as a standalone core and depends on the cohesive plugins that extends its support onto different cloud providers. Currently, NodeCloud supports AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Azure and houses a handy plugin for all the three providers. I have been working to add DigitalOcean as a provider in the first four weeks.
Each provider supplies NodeCloud with variety of implementable products. Some of these products that are available in NodeCloud are:
- Compute
- Storage
- Networking
- Databases
- Security/ Authorization
- Utilities
I worked on the COMPUTE module of DigitalOcean in the first week. This is what I have achieved successfully!
The functions available are:
- Create a new Droplet
- Create multiple Droplets
- Retrieve an existing Droplet by id
- List All Droplets
- List all available Kernels for a Droplet
- List snapshots for a Droplet
- List backups for a Droplet
- List actions for a Droplet
- Delete a Droplet
- Deleting Droplets by Tag
- List Neighbors for a Droplet
This is it for the first week. I am excited to continue with upcoming weeks.
