Gray Weather Station

An opinionated AWS Cloud Visibility Dashboard. GrayWS provides:

• A summary view of Cloudformation stacks, with create/updated times and drift status
• A list of all stack change sets and detailed list of resource drifts with diffs
• Detailed view of changes with diffs
• Force Directed Graph view of stack resources and dependencies, including create/update/delete status during stack operations

Running

Export AWS Environment variables. GrayWS requires a minimal IAM policy of:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "GrayWSAccess",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "cloudformation:DescribeChangeSet",
                "cloudformation:DescribeStacks",
                "cloudformation:DescribeStackResourceDrifts",
                "cloudformation:GetTemplate",
                "cloudformation:ListChangeSets",
                "cloudformation:ListStacks",
                "cloudformation:ListStackResources"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

With Python

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
export FLASK_APP=grayws
python3 -m flask run

With Docker Compose

docker-compose up

By default either approach will run locally on port 5000, i.e. http://127.0.0.1:5000
