Web interface

[Peter Sankauskas]

Hi,

So I couldn't help but notice that most of the other NetflixOSS projects have web interfaces to them, and Aminator doesn't.

It would be nice to be able to make an API call to Aminator with the various parameters, and off it goes.

Is anyone working on this?

Is there a reason it was built as a CLI instead of a web service?

Thanks.

We wanted to drive Aminator from Jenkins in the end.  Our original goal for the rewrite was to do something similar to what you suggest. Aminator would have some kind of job manager backed by something like Celery, web front-end that used the back-end ReST API, etc. After mulling it over, Jenkins seemed like a better fit for us and simplified a lot of the architecture.

That said, just mulling it over, taking Aminator's core and wrapping it with something like Flask or Bottle might not be too difficult...

Hi Peter,

Yes, that would be very nice. No one that is working on this that I am aware of. Sounds like a good Cloud Prize project. We thought about doing this but after a few design discussions we realized it would be close to next neverday before we got around to open sourcing it. The CLI model was already implemented and had been working quite well for a couple years.
