Hyper_saver

Hyper.sh containers make a great devops workstation for a number of reasons:

1. You can shut them down when not in use which saves money and also reduces the attack surface.
2. Hyper.sh containers have a private Layer 2 segment which can be firewalled using security groups and which are not shared with other customers.
3. Hyper containers have better isolation than Docker containers (hardware isolation, just like a VM)

However starting your devops workstation every time you start the day is painful, that is why I created a little python script that uses osquery to start up my workstation when I plug in my yubikey.

Requirements

1. OSQuery (not sure if you just need the python module or the binary as I have both)
2. python (tested on 2.7)
3. A Yubikey, however you can change the script to use any usb device

Running

hyper_saver takes two arguments :

> hyper_saver.py containerName fipName

Where containerName is the name you have given your Hyper.sh container and the fipName is the name given to your floating IP!

TODO

1. Currently there isn't any error handling
2. Integrating a cli library like click would make this utility more easy to use perhaps
3. Submit a pull request if you want to contribute
