Description:

yamlifier 1.0.3

Create a yaml file from a template and automatically embed local files.
Create builds for your cloud-init / cloud-config templates with ease!
This allows you to edit files and track in source control and wrap them in yaml files when needed.
Supports compression to minimize yaml size (perfect to squeeze into startup scripts for AWS/EC2 instances).

Getting started
pip install yamlifier

cd testdata

yamlifier VARIABLE1="funny person"
Check out the generated.yaml file in the local folder.
Use -f to overwrite existing file and –help for more information.

Template Syntax
#cloud-config
#@ Comments like this will be removed from the generated file.

- [ /example/install.sh ]

#@ 'local-content-path' will be replaced with content of local file.
- path: /example/install.sh
permissions: "0755"

#@ Embed binary file as an example (could be an executable)
- path: /example/small_logo.png
permissions: "644"
