Introduction¶
Plugins are a way to add features to fink without having to directly modify the fink core.
This fink plugin userguide aims to make it easy for you to get started using plugins in your projects. fink plugins help you customize the fink tools towards your specific project needs.
fink plugins are available for many different areas from reading your specific configuration format, to looking up credentials from your secret-store. fink plugins were implemented internally at finklabs.
finklabs – The Global Media Exchange – is a provider of a global, open marketplace for premium video content as well as a technical service provider for the entire value chain of online video marketing.
fink plugins and userguide are released under MIT License.
The fink plugins userguide starts with this introduction, then provides an overview on how to use and configure fink plugins in general. The following parts each cover one fink plugin.
This user guide assumes that you know fink and the AWS services you want to automate so we do not cover AWS services in great detail and instead point to relevant documentation. But even if you are starting out on AWS, fink will help you to quickly leave the AWS webconsole behind and to move towards infrastructure-as-code.
