ecube

epiphani execution engine (e3) allows running local scripts and commands in conjunction with other cloud based connectors to create low-code playbooks. These can be shared with other team members using collaboration tools such as Slack. For more information visit: https://www.epiphani.ai

e3 (ecube) -> epiphani execution engine

positional arguments:
  command     Subcommand to run

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
(ecube) pmadhav@ip-172-31-46-212:~$ 

Using ecube examples

runcli

e3 runcli --name pmCli

This will create a connector that will be executed on the machine that is running e3. It can be made a part of any playbooks on the playbook engine. Please see this: https://github.com/epiphani-inc/ecube/wiki/Install

Use ecube to create & run playbooks

Create a playbook

There are some simple sample playbooks in the gitrepo @ ./samples/playbooks You will have to edit them to add you AWS secret and key information where it says <>.

Once you have the samples edited and e3 installed, you can just create the playbook like this:

e3 playbook create --directory ./samples/playbooks/threeNode --name EC2CL109

Execute a playbook

To execute a playbook you just need to give the name of the playbook to run

e3 playbook run --vars '{"region": "us-west-2"}' --name EC2CL108

In this case the playbook needs variables - region where it is going to fetch the state from.
