This is excellent! Great work Robert, Geoff, and David.
I've already switched to using the CLI for many things, from deploying
to looking up details. The fun will really start when we're embedding
this in scripts and using `jq` on the output.
You may have seen lots of commits across projects just now: the CLI is
now built and bundled as part of the dist. This means you need Go 1.6
installed. Or you can use `-Dno-go-client` if building in the uber.
(See the README at [1].)
Now we just need to release 0.9.0.

This is a lightweight, standalone command line client for Apache Brooklyn,
written in Go. The intention is to provide the same control over Brooklyn that
until now has only been possible via the graphical UI, but at the command line.
So not only can Brooklyn now be used without requiring a web browser, but it
also allows power users and devops teams to automate Brooklyn with shell
scripts.
The tool name is "br". Just to give a couple of quick examples, you could
deploy a blueprint with
$ br deploy webapp.yaml
You can then check the progress of the installation by querying the application
you just deployed:
$ br application WebCluster
Id: lmOcZbsT
Name: WebCluster
Status: RUNNING
ServiceUp: true
... etc.
(or just "br app").
The tool also lets you examine the status of individual entities in the
application, check sensor values and policy configuration, examine the activity
history, and even invoke effectors.
The documentation for Brooklyn will be updated with guides for the CLI, and you
can already read the current snapshot documentation [2].
It is worth noting that the tool is still under development, and, while it has
broad coverage of Brooklyn functionality at present, there are still things to
do.
If you are interested in seeing a demo of the CLI in action, you might want to
look at a blog post I wrote recently [3]. This is actually on a different
topic (Brooklyn Salt integration) but does show the CLI in action.
Thanks to Cloudsoft for contributing this to Apache Brooklyn.
