Comet Command¶

The manual page of the group command can be found at: comet

Cloudmesh has the ability to manage easily multiple clouds. ONe such cloud is comet. comet cloud is special as it allows the management of virtual clusters. It is intended for advanced users that can manage their own cluster environment.

Configuration¶

Configure the comet section in ~/.cloudmesh/cloudmesh.yaml file first. auth_provider could be userpass or apikey. When specified, the corresponding credential is needed. Please communicate with comet admins to get the username/password or api key and secret assigned.:

comet:
    auth_provider: apikey
    userpass:
        username: TBD
        password: TBD
    apikey:
        api_key: KEYSTRING
        api_secret: SECRETSTRING

Reference Guide¶

Next, we include a small set of useful examples to manage comet virtual cluster using cloudmesh client.
