Weather Alert Based Orchestration
WABO is a tool designed to be a starting point for creating complex orchestrations that are based on weather alerts. I started this project as a POC for my home lab. The idea was to move my workload to the cloud when there are hurricane alerts in my area.
As time goes on I will add some orchestration examples and some location self awareness logic.
- python 3.x
- requests
- urllib
- json
First, download wabo:
$ git clone https://github.com/ablinkinz/wabo.gitcd to the wabo directory:
$ cd waboopen the python3 repl:
$ python3import wabos alert module
>>> import alertslet's check to see if we have any current alerts in our area, in verbose mode (make sure your .config/settings.json file is update for your state and zip)
>>> alerts.getAlertExists(True)
to fire off as a "process" and loop based on cadence:
python orchestrate.py- "openWeatherMapAPIKey": "PLACE KEY HERE"
- Currently this is not used. Later it will allow grabbing weather forecasts
- "saltStackMaster": ""
- The salt master api to connect to
- "saltStackUser": ""
- The salt master api username
- "saltStackPass": ""
- The salt master api password
- "saltStackStateToRun": ""
- The salt state to execute to do the "work"
- "zipCode": "29483"
- Will be required for openweather
- "state": ""
- if you set the two letter state code (South Carolina would be SC) it will get the alerts for the entire state. If left blank will default to the coordinates
- "coords": "33.0975,-80.1753"
- This will narrow down the alerts to your area. If left blank they will be acquired from your IP
- "units": "imperial"
- Imperial or Metric
- "alertEventTypeKeyWords": ["Hurricane", "Tropical", "Rip", "Flood"]
- A list of key words you want to trigger on
- "cadence":
- The frequency to check for new alerts (in minutes)
Just me I suppose
