rubix 0.0.8

Python package to enables DevOps tasks in Jupyter Notebooks

[](https://badge.fury.io/py/rubix)

### What is Rubix?
Python library that makes it easy to perform common DevOps tasks inside Jupyter Notebooks. E.g. plot Cloudwatch metrics, rollback your ECS/kubernetes app etc.

### When to use it?
While Rubix can be used in many contexts, it's most useful for writing incident runbooks/playbooks. On-call can read instructions & execute steps right from the Jupyter Notebook. I wrote more about the use case [here](https://hackernoon.com/simplify-devops-with-jupyter-notebook-c700fb6b503c).

### Why Jupyter Notebook?
- Jupyter allows interleaving instructions and executable code. Ideal for quick incident response.
- Rich HTML output makes it easy to plot graphs, show deployment status etc.
- Low friction way to edit/view/execute notebooks in a browser.

# Documentation
Currently following integrations are supported in Rubix, would love to add more. Note that Jupyter Notebook supports executing [shell commands](http://docs.nurtch.com/en/latest/nurtch-platform/index.html#run-shell-commands-in-notebook) & [SQL queries](http://docs.nurtch.com/en/latest/nurtch-platform/index.html#run-sql-queries-in-notebook) out of the box.

* [Cloudwatch](http://docs.nurtch.com/en/latest/rubix-library/aws/cloudwatch.html)
* [Elastic Container Service (ECS)](http://docs.nurtch.com/en/latest/rubix-library/aws/ecs.html)
* [Kubernetes](http://docs.nurtch.com/en/latest/rubix-library/kubernetes.html#api-usage)

# Installation
Rubix exclusively works with Jupyter notebooks. You can [install Jupyter](http://jupyter.org/install) locally or use [JupyterHub](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#) multi user setup. I also built built [nurtch](http://nurtch.com) (commercial) for easy multi user Jupyter setup.
* For your Jupyter/JupyterHub setup, just execute the following at the top of any notebook. Bang operator tells Jupyter to execute this as a terminal command.
```
!pip install rubix
```
* Rubix is pre-installed with [nurtch](http://nurtch.com) multi-user Jupyter setup.

# Usage
Complete documentation is linked above. Here are some usage examples.

### Plot Cloudwatch Metrics

### Rollback Service in ECS
