set the ip/credentials of podm for which this Valence will interactCheck the PYTHON_HOME and other variables in /etc/init/valence.conf
Initialize etcd database
$ sudo db_manager initStart valence service
$ sudo service valence startLogs are located at /var/logs/valence/
GUI installation
Please refer to the installation steps in the ui/README file.
Components
Valence follows the typical OpenStack project setup. The components are listed below:
valence-api
A pecan based daemon to expose Valence REST APIs. The api service communicates to the controller through AMQP.
valence-controller --------------The controller implements all the handlers for valence-api. It reads requests from the AMQP queue, process it and send the reponse back to the caller.
valence-ui --------valence-ui provides a GUI interface to invoke Valence APIs.
Features
Please refer the Valence blueprints for supported and in-the-pipeline
