Managing Profiles
=================

A **profile type**  can be treated as the meta-type of a `Profile` object. A
registry of profile types is built when the Cluster service starts. When
creating a `Profile` object, you will indicate the profile type used in its
`spec` property.


List Profiles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To examine the list of profiles:

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/profile.py
   :pyobject: list_profiles

When listing profiles, you can specify the sorting option using the ``sort``
parameter and you can do pagination using the ``limit`` and ``marker``
parameters.

Full example: `manage profile`_


Create Profile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When creating a profile, you will provide a dictionary with keys and values
specified according to the profile type referenced.

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/profile.py
   :pyobject: create_profile

Optionally, you can specify a ``metadata`` keyword argument that contains some
key-value pairs to be associated with the profile.

Full example: `manage profile`_


Find Profile
~~~~~~~~~~~~

To find a profile based on its name or ID:

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/profile.py
   :pyobject: find_profile

The Cluster service doesn't allow updating the ``spec`` of a profile. The only
way to achieve that is to create a new profile.

Full example: `manage profile`_


Get Profile
~~~~~~~~~~~~

To get a profile based on its name or ID:

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/profile.py
   :pyobject: get_profile

Full example: `manage profile`_


Update Profile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a profile is created, most of its properties are immutable. Still, you
can update a profile's ``name`` and/or ``metadata``.

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/profile.py
   :pyobject: update_profile

The Cluster service doesn't allow updating the ``spec`` of a profile. The only
way to achieve that is to create a new profile.

Full example: `manage profile`_


Delete Profile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A profile can be deleted after creation, provided that it is not referenced
by any active clusters or nodes. If you attempt to delete a profile that is
still in use, you will get an error message.

.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/clustering/profile.py
   :pyobject: delete_profile
