    Flowpipe – cloud scripting using HCL▲10

    Flowpipe [1] is a new open source [2] cloud scripting engine from Turbot [3]. Some of you may already use Steampipe [4], our open-source [5] tool to live query cloud APIs. We believe DevOps teams need an easier way to orchestrate their cloud, build workflows and respond to events. But - because it's DevOps - that must be in code. In Flowpipe, pipelines are written in HCL and use simple primitives for HTTP requests, executing containers, running Lambda-compatible functions, querying databases like Steampipe and more. We have also published a large ecosystem of open source Flowpipe Mods [6].…

    rallyup – Lightweight Wake-on-LAN Scheduler▲141

    Hi HN, I’ve wanted a simple solution to handle Wake-on-LAN sequences for my home and work labs to boot up servers in the right order. I was already dabbling in Rust and thought this would be an interesting project to dive deeper and see if it could work well for this kind of network tool. The result is rallyup. rallyup lets you set up server dependencies in a YAML file, so each service (e.g., firewalls, storage, VM hosts) comes online in the right order. It verifies each server’s status before moving to the next. Features: - Dependency-based WOL with VLAN support - Built-in health checks…
