What it is and what it does
cloudshell-shell-core is the foundational package for building CloudShell shells—the driver plugins that CloudShell uses to manage and orchestrate resources in a sandbox environment. It defines the ResourceDriverInterface that all shells must implement, provides context objects that CloudShell passes to shell commands, and wraps the cloudshell-automation-api and cloudshell-logging libraries to simplify common tasks like setting live status, writing output, and logging.
Developers use this package as the base when creating new shells via shellfoundry or when implementing custom resource drivers. It abstracts away much of the boilerplate needed to communicate with the CloudShell platform, letting you focus on the logic specific to your resource type. The package supports Python 3.7 and later and is marked as Production/Stable.
Use it for
- Build a custom CloudShell shell driver for a new resource type by inheriting from ResourceDriverInterface.
- Wrap CloudShell Automation API calls to set live status or write messages to the sandbox output log.
- Implement structured logging in a shell driver using the provided LoggingSessionContext wrapper.
- Access driver context objects (resource details, sandbox info, etc.) passed by CloudShell to your shell commands.
- Integrate a shell into the CloudShell ecosystem by using the standard driver interface and context definitions.
