Resource Classes for OpenStack
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are working within an existing OpenStack deployment and need a stable reference for standard resource class symbols. The package is lightweight, has no known vulnerabilities, and the resource classes it defines are unlikely to change. However, be aware it is abandoned—do not expect bug fixes or updates if OpenStack's resource class definitions evolve. For new projects, verify that the resource classes exported match your target OpenStack version.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Verify before relying
pip install os-resource-classes

- Whether custom resource class support via CUSTOM_ prefix is fully documented or requires external API knowledge.
What it is and what it does
os-resource-classes is a small library that exports standardized symbols representing OpenStack resource inventory types—such as VCPU and DISK_GB—as uppercase constants with underscores. These symbols are intended to be used by OpenStack tools and deployments to refer to common resource types in a consistent way. The package also documents the concept of custom resource classes, which begin with a CUSTOM_ prefix and are created via the OpenStack placement API.
The package is a simple reference collection with minimal runtime dependencies (only pbr). It is designed for use within OpenStack ecosystem tools and cloud management code that needs to reference standard resource types. However, it has been abandoned since mid-2021 and receives no active maintenance or updates.
Use it for
- Reference standard OpenStack resource class names in placement API client code.
- Build cloud inventory management tools that need to enumerate standard resource types.
- Validate or normalize resource class strings in OpenStack deployment automation.
- Document expected resource types in OpenStack-aware applications.
