Boilerplate-free scripting and IT automation for python programmers

Jinjamator is an automation framework built to make complex automation tasks as easy and boilerplate free as possible.

Features

Jinjamator currently has following features:

• run tasks written in python3

• run tasks written in jinja2

• register functions via content plugin system for python3 and jinja2 tasks, to have the same functionality.

• run standalone as CLI application

• run as REST API daemon, exporting tasks via REST API

• gathering of required user inputs, determined by code inspection

• validation of user inputs

• log everthing to a database (daemon mode only, CLI is on roadmap)

• support of different (customer) environments

• distributed operation (daemon mode only)

• output plugin system to further process data generated by tasks (e.g.: generate excel files from everthing)

• includes a simple single-page javascript webapp for running tasks (automatically generates wizards from the task code)

Content Plugins

• cisco.aci (query apic)

• ssh (run commands via ssh)

• fsm (parse ssh outputs to objects via textfsm)

• log

Many more to come.
