- name: Launch instances in tenant
  command: nova --os-username={{ OS_USERNAME }} --os-password={{ OS_PASSWORD }} --os-tenant-name={{ OS_TENANT_NAME }}

          --security-group default --key-name {{ KEY_NAME }} --min-count {{ INSTCNT }} {{ INSTNAME }}

you can use openstack-API instead of CLI to perform same task.

For DigitalOcean Droplet provisioning, refer to the respective directory in the root of this repository for playbooks.

Before running the playbooks, make sure you have done the following -

pip install dopy
Login to your DO account, and under API, generate your API token, and then export it to the environment as DO_API_TOKEN=<token>
