PART 1: How to use SoftLayer Python library.

Install the SoftLayer's Python library. 

pip install softlayer

or clone the source code from the github and install from source code.


git clone https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-python.git



python setup.py install

Once we have installed the SoftLayer Python library we are ready to use it as shown in the following example.

You need your username and api key to run the below example.
One can get both user name and api key at the following link once you login successfully.

Accounts username and API key








E.g. showing how to use SoftLayer Python library.

import SoftLayer
from SoftLayer.managers.image import ImageManager

client = SoftLayer.Client(username='', api_key='')
image_manager = ImageManager(client)

mask = "mask[id,name,note]"
imageTemplates = image_manager.list_private_images(mask='id,name,note')
print("ID - Name - Note")
for template in imageTemplates:
    try:
        print("%s - %s - %s" % (template['id'], template['name'], template['note']))
    except KeyError:
        print("%s - %s - %s" % (template['id'], template['name'], 'None'))


In the above example we are creating a SoftLayer client by giving the username and API key. Mask is used to get the exact information we want instead of getting a whole lot of information. In this example we are just interested in getting the id, name and note of any image template users have in their account.

How to install openstack with Devstack on a single machine.

I think the best way to start messing with openstack is to install openstack using devstack. Its easy, customizable, easy to debug and the best part is one can simply discard the installed one and install new one in no time ! So I'll be giving you the steps to install  openstack on a physical box.  i.e all the component of the openstack will be installed on a single machine. Steps to follow. 1. Create a user as 'stack'. adduser stack 2.Install sudo and give the user 'stack' the sudo permission as most of the installation requires sudo permission. apt-get install sudo -y || yum install -y sudo echo "stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers 2a. Once done with that, one can assign a password by doing passwd stack and then logout as root and login back as stack for all of the below steps. 3.Get the openstack code. The steps are install git and clone the code from github. sudo apt-get install git -y || yum instal...

atoi implementation in C

Algo for you own implementation of atoi :) :) int val = 0;    for each char in the string       val = val *10 + char-48 lets write some code for it :) int myatoi(char *convetIt) {      int val = 0;      while(*convetIt)      {           val = (val * 10) + *convetIt - 48;           convetIt++;      } } So how it works? lets see how it works take an example of string "123" formula : val = (val * 10 ) + *convetIt - 48                 val = (0 * 10 ) + '1' - 48      =>      0*10  + 49 - 48 =  0  + 1 = 1                 val = (1 * 10)  + '2' - 48      =>     1*10  + 50 - 48 = 10...
