otupy.profiles.ctxd.data.vm.VM

class VM(vm: object = None, hypervisor: str = None, hypervisor_type: HyperVisorType = None, image: str = None)

Bases: Record

Virtual Machine

A Virtual Machine is a virtualization environment that emulates a full computer hardware. It provides virtualized hardware as network interfaces, virtual CPUs, virtual RAM, and storage. Since this model shares most of the components with any other network host, it will inherit from the Host abstraction and will extend with additional information for virtualization.

Methods

`fromdict`	Builds instance from dictionary
`todict`	Converts to dictionary

Attributes

`hypervisor`	Hypervisor name (e.g., QEMU, XEN, ...)
`hypervisor_type`	Type of the hypervisor: native (bare-metal) or hosted
`image`	Software image loaded in the VM

__init__(vm: object = None, hypervisor: str = None, hypervisor_type: HyperVisorType = None, image: str = None)

classmethod fromdict(dic, e)

Builds instance from dictionary

It is used during deserialization to create an otupy instance from the text message. It takes an Encoder instance that is used to recursively build instances of the inner objects (the Encoder provides standard methods to create instances of base objects like strings, integers, boolean).

Parameters:

dic – The intermediary dictionary representation from which the object is built.
e – The Encoder that is being used.

Returns:

An instance of this class initialized from the dictionary values.

hypervisor: str = None: Hypervisor name (e.g., QEMU, XEN, …)

hypervisor_type: HyperVisorType = None: Type of the hypervisor: native (bare-metal) or hosted

image: str = None: Software image loaded in the VM

todict(e)

Converts to dictionary

It is used to convert this object to an intermediary representation during serialization. It takes an Encoder argument that is used to recursively serialize inner data and structures (the Encoder provides standard methods for converting base types to dictionaries)..

Parameters:: e – The Encoder that is being used.
Returns:: A dictionary compliants to the Language Specification’s serialization rules.
