Sakura Cloud

This is the provider for Sakura Cloud.

Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to creds.json with TYPE set to SAKURACLOUD along with API credentials.

Example:

creds.json
{
  "sakuracloud": {
    "TYPE": "SAKURACLOUD",
    "access_token": "your-access-token",
    "access_token_secret": "your-access-token-secret"
  }
}

The endpoint is optional. If omitted, the default endpoint is assumed.

Endpoints are as follows:

  • https://secure.sakura.ad.jp/cloud/zone/is1a/api/cloud/1.1 (Ishikari first Zone)

  • https://secure.sakura.ad.jp/cloud/zone/is1b/api/cloud/1.1 (Ishikari second Zone)

  • https://secure.sakura.ad.jp/cloud/zone/tk1a/api/cloud/1.1 (Tokyo first Zone)

  • https://secure.sakura.ad.jp/cloud/zone/tk1b/api/cloud/1.1 (Tokyo second Zone)

DNS service is independent of zones, so you can use any of these endpoints. The default is the Ishikari first Zone.

Alternatively you can also use environment variables.

export SAKURACLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-access-token"
export SAKURACLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET="your-access-token-secret"
creds.json
{
  "sakuracloud": {
    "TYPE": "SAKURACLOUD",
    "access_token": "$SAKURACLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "access_token_secret": "$SAKURACLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"
  }
}

Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Sakura Cloud.

Usage

An example configuration:

dnsconfig.js
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
var DSP_SAKURACLOUD = NewDnsProvider("sakuracloud");

D("example.com", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_SAKURACLOUD),
  A("test", "192.0.2.1"),
END);
