Kocho uses the golang libraries to interact with certain APIs.

• AWS SDK to interact with the AWS API: https://godoc.org/github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go.
• Slack library to interact with the Slack API: https://godoc.org/github.com/nlopes/slack
• Cloudflare library to interact with the Cloudflare API: https://godoc.org/github.com/crackcomm/cloudflare

Interacting with the Etcd discovery, plain HTTP requests are done.

We recommend to run kocho within a separate secured network with limited access by non-authorized users. This way the lack of encryption as well as the general protocol issues are less critical.
