It communicates with the Spotinst API using credentials stored in a fixed system location and can be run manually or integrated into infrastructure workflows. The package is distributed as a compiled tarball rather than a standard Python module, and it provides configuration through YAML files for both global framework settings and worker-specific parameters.\n\nThe agent is designed for infrastructure automation tasks like deployment, data collection, and lifecycle management on Spotinst-managed instances. It operates in a polling model, checking for work rather than receiving push notifications, and includes options for test runs, verbose logging, and debug modes. However, the project has been dormant for over two years, with no recent commits and only Python 2.7 listed in classifiers, raising questions about compatibility with modern environments.","worth_installing":"No. The package is dormant (no commits in 782 days), lists only Python 2.7 support, and is distributed as a non-standard tarball requiring manual credential setup. Unless you are already deeply integrated with Spotinst's infrastructure and have verified the agent still works with your Python version and current API, the lack of maintenance and unclear compatibility make this a poor choice for new projects."},"id":"spotinst-agent","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spotinst-agent","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spotinst-agent.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/spotinst-agent/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"spotinst-agent","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Spectrum instance spotinst-agent that is able to run remote scripts, collect data, deploy applications and more."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":313382,"position":7716,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.260"}
