Next steps for full automation:

  • allow to login with proper credentials
    • Vault via rOPS: Create a permission for access to relevant credentials (see first comment of this post, acquisitariat not needed)
    • Vault manually: Create an AppRole linked to that permission
    • Code: allow to login to Vault with AppRole when available in environment or when a file exists, TO IMPLEMENT FOR BOTH TOOLS (bot needs Agora, run-report needs db-B-001).
  • deploy the bot on WindRiver
    • Vault via rOPS: credentials to query Vault (ie secret id and role id from the AppRole)
    • Salt: create rhyne-wyse user
    • Salt: create /var/db/rhyne-wyse, chown to rhyne-wyse:nasquenautes in 775, so everyone can run the bot too
    • Salt: provide /etc/periodic configuration to run the script daily
