Trove doesn't use ssh afaik.  It has an agent that runs in the guest that is communicated with via our normal RPC messaging options.

I was supposed to fix oslo.processutils.ssh with this class, but it may
be fixed without it, not big deal.




In his comments on your pull request, the paramiko author recommended looking at Fabric. I know that >Fabric has a long history in production. Does it provide the required features?


Fabric is too much for just command execution on remote server. Spur seems like
good choice for this.

I'd go with Fabric. It support several remote server operations, file upload/download among them. We could just import the methods we are interested. It in turn use paramiko supporting most of ssh client options. If we begin using fabric for file upload/download, it'll open door for more remote server operations. Bringing in fabric as part of oslo will be cool.

Where are we doing those sorts of operations?

Currently, we don't upload/download files to remote server through ssh/scp. We do execute commands, pipe multiple commands in few tempest when ssh is enabled. With oslo/fabric, we may develop a common ground to deal with remote servers, be it executing commands or dealing with files.

Are we using ssh to run commands anywhere else in OpenStack? Maybe in one of the orchestration layers like heat or trove?
