Installation

As usual, mico is available from pypi, and can be installed using pip or easy_install:

pip install mico

Or:

easy_install mico

Configure Mico

Mico just need an AWS key ID and AWS secret key to run. By default mico just take this variables from the OS environment:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="*foo*"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="*bar*"

Creating templates

Mico works using the concept of template. A template is just a python code (with steroids which we call libraries), the template can implements a number of functions. Here are a simple and stupid template (stupid.py)

def hello():
  print "Hello world!"

def bye():
  print "Bye cruel world!"

def hola(args):
  print "Hola %s" % args

Once, your template is created, you need to put it into a mico template path (by default uses /etc/mico and ~/.config/mico/, and the current working directory.

Then you can just run mico:

mico -H my_new_host stupid:hello
Hello world!

mico -H my_new_host stupid:bye
Bye cruel world!

mico stupid:hola everyone
Hola everyone

You can see more complex (and useful!) templates in examples directory.
