This is a developer CLI for working with various InfraKit plugins. The CLI offers several subcommands for working with plugins. In general, plugin methods are exposed as verbs and configuration JSON can be read from local file.
Begin by building plugin binaries.
$ build/infrakit plugin ls
Plugins:
NAME LISTEN
flavor-swarm ~/.infrakit/plugins/flavor-swarm
flavor-zookeeper ~/.infrakit/plugins/flavor-zookeeper
group ~/.infrakit/plugins/group
instance-file ~/.infrakit/plugins/instance-file
Once you know the plugins by name, you can make calls to them. For example, the instance plugin
instance-file is a Plugin that "provisions" instances by writing the instructions to
a file in a local directory.
You can access the following plugins and their methods via command line:
- instance
- group
- flavor
Using the plugin instance-file as an example:
Save the folliwing in a file named instance.json,
{
"Properties": {
"version": "v0.0.1"
},
"Tags": {
"instanceType": "small",
"group": "test2"
},
"Init": "#!/bin/sh\napt-get install -y wget",
"LogicalID": "logic2"
}and send a request for an instance plugin to validate it:
$ build/infrakit instance --name instance-file instance.json validate:ok
$ build/infrakit instance --name instance-file provision instance.json

$ build/infrakit instance --name instance-file describe
