Operation Information

Creates a Linode.

This is a Premium Integration.

Authentication

This operation requires authentication, the details of which can be securely stored on your instance in a KeySafe Key of type API Key.

To create a key of this type:

  • In the Configuration area of your Hornbill instance, navigate to Platform Configuration > Security > KeySafe;
  • Click on the + Create New Key button;
  • On the resulting Create New Key form, choose API Key in the Type pick list;
  • Give the API Key KeySafe key a Title (this is the name / identifier for the API Key account as you will see it when using the cloud automation node in your workflows);
  • Optionally populate the Description field;
  • Populate the following fields accordingly, then click the Create Key button to create your new key:
Name Type Description
ApiKey string Authentication Key
API Endpoint string Optional API Endpoint

Tip

The API Endpoint field is not required to be populated for this integration. The API Key field should be populated with a Linode Personal Access Token.

Revoking Access

If at any point you wish to revoke access to any of the above accounts from your Hornbill instance, just delete the relevant KeySafe key(s) from the KeySafe list.

Warning

This will revoke the rights of any existing Cloud Automation Node in your Hornbill Workflows that are using the revoked API Key account, so you will need to manage these workflows accordingly.
