Automations

🌰 In a Nutshell

ℹ️ Sum-up

Automations allow you to schedule playbook or Docker action executions based on cron scheduled.

Principles

Automations are formed by two elements:

• A trigger (currently only cron-based)
• An action

[Trigger]

The trigger is the "when" your automations will launch, and how often. The only trigger available at this time is "Cron", a time-based trigger that will periodically start according to your settings.

[Action]

The action is the "what" your automations will do. Two actions are currently available:

Action	Description
Playbook	Execute any playbooks registered in SSM
Docker Action	Run a Docker action such as restart for a specific container
Docker Volume Action	Run a Docker Volume action such as backup for a specific volume
