Yup. You can use the nova command, which is part of python-novaclient. Resize, boot, delete etc with it: nova help There is also nova-manage for setting up projects, networks, volumes etc. It is installed with nova-common. One caveat: glance add image.img Will probably NOT do what you want it to. You will probably want glance-upload or nova-manage image all_register.

I'm not totally sure on this but I believe the python-novaclient is what you want. It has CLI and I think a Python interface as well, so it does what boto does for the OSAPI. > I did some quick searches on the wiki but couldn't find the answers to > either of these questions.
