If you have found yourself in a situation where you needed to build a bunch of Cloud Servers, and you needed that done in multiple data centers all at the same time, this is the application that you have been looking for.

  • A Flavor Size, ID number
  • A Region to build in, This can be multiple regions if you want
  • The will to want to build lots of servers

How to make it all go:

tribble -U <user> -P <apikey> -R ord --image <imageID> --flavor <flavorID> -bn <NumServers> --name <ServerName> build
