Triton
======
`triton` is a tool for Joyent's Triton (a.k.a. SmartDataCenter), either for on-premises installations
of Triton or Joyent's Public Cloud (<https://my.joyent.com>,
<http://www.joyent.com/products/compute-service>).
**This project is experimental and probably broken. For now, please look
at [node-smartdc](https://github.com/joyent/node-smartdc).**
Installation
------------
1. Install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/).
2. `npm install -g git://github.com/joyent/node-triton`
Verify that installed and is on your PATH:
$ triton --version
Triton client 1.0.0
Before you can used the CLI you'll need a Joyent account, an SSH key uploaded
and `triton` configured with those account details.

### node-triton differences with node-smartdc
- There is a single `sdc` command instead of a number of `sdc-FOO` commands.
- The `SDC_USER` envvar is accepted in preference to `SDC_ACCOUNT`.
### cloudapi2.js differences with node-smartdc/lib/cloudapi.js
The old node-smartdc module included an lib for talking directly to the SDC
Cloud API (node-smartdc/lib/cloudapi.js). Part of this module (node-sdc) is a
re-write of the Cloud API lib with some backward incompatibilities. The
differences and backward incompatibilities are discussed here.
- Currently no caching options in cloudapi2.js (this should be re-added in
some form). The `noCache` option to many of the cloudapi.js methods will not
be re-added, it was a wart.
- The leading `account` option to each cloudapi.js method has been dropped. It
was redundant for the constructor `account` option.
- "account" is now "user" in the CloudAPI constructor.
- All (all? at least at the time of this writing) methods in cloudapi2.js have
a signature of `function (options, callback)` instead of the sometimes
haphazard extra arguments.
