delphixpy-examples

These are some example python scripts I put together to serve as examples for those getting started with Delphix the delphixpy module.

##Wait... What's Delphix? In the most simplest answer, Delphix is an awesome software that allows you to provision full multi-terabyte databases and applications in minutes. It is far more than that, but that's why Google and my blog exist.

##What is delphixpy? delphixpy is a python module created by Delphix to enable users to directly invoke the Delphix API via python.

##Where can I get Delphix and delphixpy? You can download a free version of Delphix here. It also comes with two additional pre-configured CentOS VM's (Landshark) running Oracle XE, MySQL, and PostGreSQL to get you up and running with Delphix as quick as possible.

delphixpy is available on PyPy, so you can install it by invoking pip
pip install delphixpy

##How do I use these examples? Clone this repository to your system where python is installed. Then install the pip packages in the requirements.txt file:
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt Once that is complete, you are ready to use the scripts with your Delphix environment. Each of the scripts have POSIX compliant help. The options are also explained along with examples. I am going to explain more on these scripts in my blog and on the Delphix community page

##Something neat worth noting Each of the scripts leverage docopt, which is a great module for parsing POSIX compliant help documentation as arguments. It's really awesome.
