*Since Camel {since}*

*{component-header}*

This component allows interaction with cloud provider key-value engines
(blobstores) and compute services. The component uses
https://jclouds.apache.org/[jclouds] which is +
 a library that provides abstractions for blobstores and compute
services.

*ComputeService* simplifies the task of managing machines in the cloud.
For example, you can use ComputeService to start 5 machines and install
your software on them. +
 *BlobStore* simplifies dealing with key-value providers such as Amazon
S3. For example, BlobStore can give you a simple Map view of a
container.

The camel jclouds component allows you to use both abstractions, as it
specifies two types of endpoint the JcloudsBlobStoreEndpoint and the
JcloudsComputeEndpoint. You can have both producers and consumers on a
blobstore endpoint but you can only have producers on compute endpoints.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml`
for this component:

[source,xml]
------------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-jclouds</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
------------------------------------------------------------

== Configuring the component

The camel jclouds component will make use of multiple jclouds blobstores
and compute services as long as they are passed to the component during
initialization. The component accepts a list blobstores and compute
services. Here is how it can be configured.

[source,xml]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    <bean id="jclouds" class="org.apache.camel.component.jclouds.JcloudsComponent">
        <property name="computeServices">
            <list>
                <ref bean="computeService"/>
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="blobStores">
            <list>
                <ref bean="blobStore"/>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <!-- Creating a blobstore from spring / blueprint xml -->
    <bean id="blobStoreContextFactory" class="org.jclouds.blobstore.BlobStoreContextFactory"/>

    <bean id="blobStoreContext" factory-bean="blobStoreContextFactory" factory-method="createContext">
        <constructor-arg name="provider" value="PROVIDER_NAME"/>
        <constructor-arg name="identity"  value="IDENTITY"/>
        <constructor-arg name="credential" value="CREDENTIAL"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="blobStore" factory-bean="blobStoreContext" factory-method="getBlobStore"/>

    <!-- Creating a compute service from spring / blueprint xml -->
    <bean id="computeServiceContextFactory" class="org.jclouds.compute.ComputeServiceContextFactory"/>

    <bean id="computeServiceContext" factory-bean="computeServiceContextFactory" factory-method="createContext">
        <constructor-arg name="provider" value="PROVIDER_NAME"/>
        <constructor-arg name="identity"  value="IDENTITY"/>
        <constructor-arg name="credential" value="CREDENTIAL"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="computeService" factory-bean="computeServiceContext" factory-method="getComputeService"/>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see the component is capable of handling multiple blobstores
and compute services. The actual implementation that will be used by
each endpoint is specified by passing the provider inside the URI.

== Jclouds Options

-----------------------------------------
jclouds:blobstore:[provider id][?options]
jclouds:compute:[provider id][?options]
-----------------------------------------

The *provider id* is the name of the cloud provider that provides the
target service (_e.g. aws-s3 or aws_ec2_).

You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
`?option=value&option=value&...`


// component-configure options: START

// component-configure options: END

// component options: START
include::partial$component-configure-options.adoc[]
include::partial$component-endpoint-options.adoc[]
// component options: END

// endpoint options: START

// endpoint options: END

== Usage

You can have as many of these options as you like.

[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3?operation=CamelJcloudsGet&container=mycontainer&blobName=someblob
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For producer endpoint you can override all of the above URI options by
passing the appropriate headers to the message.

// component headers: START
include::partial$component-endpoint-headers.adoc[]
// component headers: END

== Blobstore Usage Samples

=== Example 1: Putting to the blob

This example will show you how you can store any message inside a blob
using the jclouds component.

[source,java]
------------------------------------
from("direct:start")
    .to("jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3" +
        "?operation=PUT" +
        "&container=mycontainer" +
        "&blobName=myblob");
------------------------------------

In the above example you can override any of the URI parameters with
headers on the message. 
Here is how the above example would look like using xml to define our
route.

[source,xml]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<route>
    <from uri="direct:start"/>
    <to uri="jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3?operation=PUT&container=mycontainer&blobName=myblob"/>
</route>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Example 2: Getting/Reading from a blob

This example will show you how you can read the content of a blob using
the jclouds component.

[source,java]
------------------------------------
from("direct:start")
    .to("jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3" +
        "?operation=GET" +
        "&container=mycontainer" +
        "&blobName=myblob");
------------------------------------

In the above example you can override any of the URI parameters with
headers on the message. 
 Here is how the above example would look like using xml to define our
route.

[source,xml]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<route>
    <from uri="direct:start"/>
    <to uri="jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3?operation=PUT&container=mycontainer&blobName=myblob"/>
</route>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Example 3: Consuming a blob

This example will consume all blob that are under the specified
container. The generated exchange will contain the payload of the blob
as body.

[source,java]
-------------------------------------
    from("jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3" +
        "?container=mycontainer")
        .to("direct:next");
-------------------------------------

You can achieve the same goal by using xml, as you can see below.

[source,xml]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<route>
    <from uri="jclouds:blobstore:aws-s3?operation=GET&container=mycontainer&blobName=myblob"/>
    <to uri="direct:next"/>
</route>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jclouds:compute:aws-ec2?operation=CamelJcloudsCreateNode&imageId=AMI_XXXXX&locationId=eu-west-1&group=mygroup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Compute Usage Samples

Below are some examples that demonstrate the use of jclouds compute
producer in java dsl and spring/blueprint xml.

=== Example 1: Listing the available images.

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------
    from("jclouds:compute:aws-ec2" +
        "&operation=CamelJCloudsListImages")
        .to("direct:next");
--------------------------------------------

This will create a message that will contain the list of images inside
its body. You can also do the same using xml.

[source,xml]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<route>
    <from uri="jclouds:compute:aws-ec2?operation=CamelJCloudsListImages"/>
    <to uri="direct:next"/>
</route>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Example 2: Create a new node.

[source,java]
---------------------------------------------
    from("direct:start").
    to("jclouds:compute:aws-ec2" +
        "?operation=CamelJcloudsCreateNode" +
        "&imageId=AMI_XXXXX" +
        "&locationId=XXXXX" +
        "&group=myGroup");
---------------------------------------------

This will create a new node on the cloud provider. The out message in
this case will be a set of metadata that contains information about the
newly created node (e.g. the ip, hostname etc). Here is the same using
spring xml.

[source,xml]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<route>
    <from uri="direct:start"/>
    <to uri="jclouds:compute:aws-ec2?operation=CamelJcloudsCreateNode&imageId=AMI_XXXXX&locationId=XXXXX&group=myGroup"/>
</route>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Example 3: Run a shell script on running node.

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------
    from("direct:start").
    to("jclouds:compute:aws-ec2" +
        "?operation=CamelJcloudsRunScript" +
        "?nodeId=10" +
        "&user=ubuntu");
--------------------------------------------

The sample above will retrieve the body of the in message, which is
expected to contain the shell script to be executed. Once the script is
retrieved, it will be sent to the node for execution under the specified
user (_in order case ubuntu_). The target node is specified using its
nodeId. The nodeId can be retrieved either upon the creation of the
node, it will be part of the resulting metadata or by a executing a
LIST_NODES operation.

*Note* This will require that the compute service that will be passed to
the component, to be initialized with the appropriate jclouds ssh
capable module (_e.g. jsch or sshj_).

Here is the same using spring xml.

[source,xml]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<route>
    <from uri="direct:start"/>
    <to uri="jclouds:compute:aws-ec2?operation=CamelJcloudsListNodes&?nodeId=10&user=ubuntu"/>
</route>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
