Google Cloud Snapshot Cleaner v0.2.0
September 22, 2019
Last week, in a previous article, I’ve introduced you to gcsc (Google Cloud Snapshot Cleaner). I’ve just released the version 0.2.0 of it, and it has a lot of clean-ups done, both in the code and the user experience.
There are also some new features, but the one I’m more satisfied with, is the introduction of the http
subcommand, to expose an HTTP server.
The webserver will listen to any URI and Methods, and the request will trigger the snapshot clean-up.
To reflect the new changes, the help also changed:
Usage:
gcsc [command]
Available Commands:
clean execute a cleaning
help Help about any command
http listen to HTTP port
Flags:
--automatic Include automatic backups (default true)
--dry-run Dry run mode
-h, --help help for gcsc
--manual Include manual backups
-p, --project-id string Google Cloud Project ID
Use "gcsc [command] --help" for more information about a command.
This is a very interesting feature in my opinion, since it can now be put in Google Cloud Run or other similar platforms. It’s not yet completely optimized this usage, but hopefully in the next releases it will improve enough to become a seamless deployment.
