paco.models: Semantic cloud infrastructure configuration file format and object model

paco.models

An object model for semantic cloud infrastructure.

paco.models parses a directory of YAML files that compose an Paco project and loads them into a complete object model.

What's in the model?

The model defines common logical cloud infrastructure concepts, such as networks, accounts, applications and environments.

The model uses network and applications as hierarchical trees of configuration that can have their values over rode when they are placed into environments. Environments live in a network and contain applications, and typically represent the stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), such as 'development', 'staging' and 'production'.

The model has a declarative schema that explicitly defines the fields for each object type in the model. This schema declares not only type (e.g. string, integer) but can also declare defaults, min and max values, constrain to specific values, and define invariants that ensure that if one field has a specific value, another fields value is compatabile with that. The model will validates these fields when it loads a Paco project.

Developing

Install this package with your Python tool of choice. Typically set-up a virtualenv and pip install the dependencies in there:

python -m venv env

./env/bin/pip install -e .

There are unit tests using PyTest. If you are using VS Code you can turn on the "Py Test Enabled" setting and run "Discover Unit Tests" command.

• Added resolve_ref() to Resource in base.py as a catch all.

Changed

• ISecurityGroupRule source_security_group was moved to IIngressRule and IEgressRule (finally!) has a destination_security_group field.

• load_resources was removed and you can now simply apply_attributes to an Application and it will recurse through app.groups..resources. without any external fiddling.

• Moved deepdiff CLI functions into aim project.

• IApplication is now IMonitorable. Alarms at the Application level must specify their Namespace and Dimensions.

• Changed RDS primary_domain_name and primary_hosted_zone to an IDNS object

Fixed

6.0.0 (2019-09-27)

Added

• ICloudWatchAlarms have enable_ok_actions and enable_insufficient_data_actions booleans that will send to the notification groups when the alarm enters the OK or INSUFFICIENT_DATA states.

• references.get_model_obj_ref will resolve an paco.ref to a model object and won't attempt to do Stack output lookups.

• Service plug-ins are loaded according to an initilization_order integer that each plug-in can supply. If no integer is supplied, loading for unordered plug-ins count up from 1000.

• Minimal API Gateway models for Methods, Resources, Models and Stages.

• S3Bucket NotificationConfiguration for Lambdas.

• S3Bucket has get_bucket_name() to return the full computed bucket name.

• IGlobalResources for project['resource'] to contain config from the ./Resources/ directory. Resources such as S3 and EC2 now implement INamed and are loaded into project['resource'].

• IAccountContainer and IRegionContainer are lightweight containers for account and region information. They can be used by Services that want to set-up Resources in a multi-account, multi-region manner.

Changed

• CloudTrail defines CloudWatchLogGroup as a sub-object rather than an paco.ref.

• Alarms have get_alarm_actions_paco_refs renamed from get_alarm_actions as alarms can only provide paco.refs and need to get the ARNs from the stacks.

• NotificationGroups are now Resources. Now they have regular working paco.ref's.

5.0.0 (2019-08-26)

Added

• New field paco.models.reference.FileReference which resolves the path and replaces the original value with the value of the file indicated by the path. IApiGatewayRestApi.body_file_location uses this new field.

• Renamed project['ne'] to project['netenv']

• Modified NatGateway segments to aim references

Fixed

• Invariants were not being check for resources. Invariants need to be checked by the loader if they are not contained in a zope.schema.Object field, which will run the check behind the scenes.

It is an alternate to the aws field, which will remain for setting simpler AWS-only principals. The condition field is a Key-Value dictionary of Key-Value filters.

• Alarm now has 'get_alarm_actions' and 'get_alarm_description' to help construct alarms.

• CloudTrail has a 'get_accounts' which will resolve the CloudTrail.accounts field to a list of Account objects in the model.
