Yup.  You can use the nova command, which is part of python-novaclient.
 Resize, boot, delete etc with it:

nova help

There is also nova-manage for setting up projects, networks, volumes
etc.  It is installed with nova-common.

One caveat:
glance add image.img

Will probably NOT do what you want it to.  You will probably want
glance-upload or nova-manage image all_register.  More info here:

I'm not totally sure on this but I believe the python-novaclient is what
you want.  It has CLI and I think a Python interface as well, so it does
what boto does for the OSAPI.
