Hi Ignacio,
As fas as I know there is no direct way to force a concrete IP address
using the portable TemplateOptions. Configuring a concrete IP address
is something that not all providers support, and that's why is not
part of the base TemplateOptions implementation. If you are using a
concrete provider that supports that, you could use the provider
specific template options. Something like:
TemplateOptions options =
options(foo).as(ProviderSpecificOptions.class).publicIp(something);
But that would depend on each provider implementation. If there no
such option, perhaps you could try sending a pull request? [1]. You
may also want to keep an eye on JCLOUDS-416 [2], as it is tightly
related to this.
Regarding the second question, yes, that's the way, although you could
use a more readable approach by using the Guava Lists/Sets helpers:
TemplateOptions options = nodeNames(Lists.newArrayList("name1", "name2"));
Finally, when working with public keys, you depend again on a provider
specific feature that is not supported in all them, so it is not part
of the portable TempalteOptions. The EC2TemplateOptions [3] has, for
example, a method to specify the name of the key pair to use. You
could again use the provider specific options here.
HTH!
