How to manage spaces

See also: Space

Juju users are able to create, view, rename, or delete spaces.

Juju can deploy to an IPv6 stack or an IPv4 stack, but not both at once (i.e., dual stacks are not supported).

Contents:

Add a space

Spaces are created with the add-space command. The following example creates a new space called db-space and associates the 172.31.0.0/20 subnet with it:

juju add-space db-space 172.31.0.0/20
added space "db-space" with subnets 172.31.0.0/20

See more: juju add-space

To create and add a new space, on a connected Model object, use the add_space() method, passing a name for the space and associated subnets. For example:

await my_model.add_space("db-space", ["172.31.0.0/20"])

See more: add_space(), Model (module)

Reload spaces

To reload spaces, along with their subnets, use the reload-spaces command:

juju reload-spaces

This will show you any new spaces (whether added via add-space or directly on the provider end), or any new subnets of an existing space.

See more: juju reload-spaces

This command is especially relevant for a MAAS cloud. There, you cannot add a space via juju add-space. Rather, you must add it directly using the MAAS UI/CLI and then run juju reload-spaces to make it known to Juju.

The python-libjuju client does not currently support this. Please use the juju client.

View available spaces

The spaces known to juju can be viewed with the spaces command, as follows:

$ juju spaces
Name   Space ID  Subnets
alpha  0         172.31.0.0/20
                 172.31.16.0/20
                 172.31.32.0/20
                 172.31.48.0/20
                 172.31.64.0/20
                 172.31.80.0/20
                 252.0.0.0/12
                 252.16.0.0/12
                 252.32.0.0/12
                 252.48.0.0/12
                 252.64.0.0/12
                 252.80.0.0/12

To view available spaces, on a connected Model, use the get_spaces() method.

await my_model.get_spaces()

See more: get_spaces(), Model (module)

View details about a space

To view details about a space, run the show-space command:

juju show-space

The command also allows you to specify a model to operate in, an output format, etc.

See more: juju show-space

The python-libjuju client does not currently support this. Please use the juju client.

Rename a space

To rename a space db-space to public-space, do:

$ juju rename-space db-space public-space
renamed space "db-space" to "public-space"

Spaces can also be renamed during controller configuration, via the juju-ha-space and juju-mgmt-space key, or during model configuration, via the default-space key.

See more: juju rename-space

The python-libjuju client does not currently support this. Please use the juju client.

Remove a space

You can delete a space using the remove-space command.

$ juju remove-space public-space
removed space "public-space"

Deleting a space will cause any subnets in it to move back to the alpha space. See How to manage subnets.

The python-libjuju client does not currently support this. Please use the juju client.
