Home automation for the geek home. Built in Go.

This is my home automation project.

Find it on github or godoc.

A picture is worth a thousand words - how about if you could visualize your EC2 infrastructure automagically?

That’s what Cloudily does:

It discovers connections between hosts using a variety of tools: arp, netstat and last.

Command line script to administer the Amazon Route 53 DNS service.

quick example:

Just opensourced a starcluster plugin for provisioning elasticsearch clusters automatically in the cloud.

What is Starcluster?

Starcluster is great for spinning up clusters of ec2 nodes quickly for some analytics / data chomping.

If you’re not familiar take a look at this very cool screencast:

Starcluster and Elasticsearch = best friends

Elasticsearch is a great fit - it runs smoothly on ec2 and for ease of searching big data is second to none.

If you’ve used Amazon webservices much at all you’ll probably have come across their DNS service route53. This offers very competitively priced DNS hosting on the Amazon cloud.

To install:

$ pip install cli53

The first step everyone migrating commonly goes through is getting their existing zones into the system. Invariably these are in the industry-standard bind format, but route53 uses its own format.

cli53 assists in offering easy import of bind format zones:
