CharmHelpers

Overview

CharmHelpers provides an opinionated set of tools for building Juju charms.

Common Usage Examples

  • interaction with charm-specific Juju unit agents via hook tools;
  • processing of events and execution of decorated functions based on event names;
  • handling of persistent storage between independent charm invocations;
  • rendering of configuration file templates;
  • modification of system configuration files;
  • installation of packages;
  • retrieval of machine-specific details;
  • implementation of application-specific code reused in similar charms.

Why Python?

  • Python is an extremely popular, easy to learn, and powerful language which is also common in automation tools;
  • An interpreted language helps with charm portability across different CPU architectures;
  • Doesn't require debugging symbols (just use pdb in-place);
  • An author or a user is able to make debugging changes without recompiling a charm.
