Ahhh.. OK. The namespace is embedded in the instance ID depending on the type, so it should be sufficient to: GET /servers/<instance uuid> Regardless, uuid is sufficient and globally unique.
This doesn't consider authentication. I'd assumed that username and realm and the like had been handled by REST-based authentication and would be available to the API service. ------------------------------------------------- Brian Schott, CTO Nimbis Services, Inc. brian.sch...@nimbisservices.com ph: 443-274-6064 fx: 443-274-6060 On Jul 11, 2011, at 2:04 PM, Eric Day wrote: > On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 05:17:05PM +0000, Sandy Walsh wrote: >> How is >> >> nova-<account>-<instance uuid> >> >> any different than: >> >> AAAABBBB-CCCC-DDDD-EEEE-FFFFGGGGHHHH >> >> Where AAAA/BBBB/CCCC (or some subset of them) are reserved/regulated? > > Nothing, if DDDD-EEEE-FFFFGGGGHHHH is a full UUID.
