WowKey command line operation and maintenance tools, automated, batch and standardized operation and maintenance solutions for Linux devices, liberating operation and maintenance personnel, and improving enterprise operation and maintenance efficiency and quality.
Can anyone understand the pain of operating and maintaining equipment?
If you only maintain single-digit equipment in your operation and maintenance work, it doesn't matter - a general simple remote human-computer interactive device login and then execute shell command maintenance methods, spending a little time enough for you to complete your daily work more easily.
However, what about the thousands or dozens of equipment that require daily operation, maintenance and configuration? Operation and maintenance work includes but is not limited to: health status check, collection of performance status data, addition and update of system-level configuration data, addition and update of application-level configuration data, addition and limitation of account security, configuration and rectification of system security, regular rotation of passwords, patch upgrades, software installation and uninstallation... Oh my God, every device needs to log in interactively and then execute shell commands and shell scripts to complete the work that needs to be completed.
The worst thing is that an operation and maintenance personnel will definitely not be able to handle it! A small team may also be extremely reluctant!
What's more serious is that as the operation and maintenance are carried out, the basic environment, system version and software version of each device are very different, which brings more difficult maintenance responses.
Is there any way to alleviate this dilemma?
Of course there is, automation and standardization! How to automate standardization? Can automation and standardization really solve such a dilemma?
But remember: Operation and maintenance work is always a human-computer interaction job. Human factors must be involved in operation and maintenance, but can humans automate and standardize them? The eternal answer is: No! ! ! Unless he is a robot.
Therefore, we need to let people participate in automation and standardization, but not trap people in specific interaction and execution work. This is the operation and maintenance that is both simple, efficient and quality.
The answer is: people only participate in the decision-making of operation and maintenance work, and the rest is left to automation and standardization - Amitus Buddha. WowKey will help you complete operation and maintenance work automatically, batch and standardize. Your work with your team has become, just create, test, select, configure, and execute WIS instruction script files and APT account password table files, automatically or manually execute wowkey commands, and then view or use script tools to cut the output data results of WowKey.
WowKey is a shell command line operation and maintenance tool for Linux devices. It is simple, easy to use, efficient, highly integrated, and dependency-free.
Simple and easy to use means: how simple is it? It is so simple that there is no dependency on installation and use. It only requires 1 WIS instruction script file (executing content part, reusable part) 1 APT account password file (authorized content part, reusable part) 1 wowkey command. It has extremely low learning cost, extremely low project and deployment cost. You only need to get started with the shell and shell commands and be able to write text files, and you can master the use or master WowKey, without any other requirements and conditions.
Efficiency refers to: the automation, batching and standardization of WowKey, which realizes the liberating nature of people participating in operation and maintenance decisions only in operation and maintenance decisions and breaking away from the specific interaction and execution process.
High integration refers to the login of equipment in operation and maintenance work, from human-computer interaction to machine-computer interaction, the separation of authentication process and the unity of execution process in WowKey, and the separation of authentication and execution process liberates the operation and maintenance personnel.
Dependency-free means: you just need to install WowKey on your Linux device and use it. Whether before or after installation, you don’t need to consider the dependency requirements of the running environment. Moreover, you only need to write TXT text files, at most you need to write WIS and APT files at one time. There are no complex language syntax requirements, nor particularly complex data format requirements - you just need to know how to write shell commands.
All of this just requires a change: from using shell operation and maintenance to using WowKey operation and maintenance.
Therefore, WowKey is first a command line operation and maintenance tool, and also a set of operation and maintenance automation, batching and standardization solutions. It can also be a low-cost data collector.

Attached WowKey Q&A:
Q: What can WowKey do?
Answer: WowKey is used for the operation and maintenance of Linux devices, which manually or automatically starts and executes instruction scripts from the command line, and automatically, batch and standardizes the instruction tasks defined in the WIS instruction script - that is, the shell instructions you define in the WIS instruction script (including calls to shell scripts). What WowKey can do includes but is not limited to: device health status check, data collection, system-level configuration addition and deletion update, project application-level configuration addition and deletion update, system security configuration addition and deletion update, account security addition and deletion update, regular rotation of password policies, software installation and uninstallation, configuration, and update...
The most critical point is: the host group and corresponding instruction tasks defined in the WIS instruction script, the login interaction and instruction execution during execution are automated—no manual intervention is required throughout the process; the batch and standardization of instruction execution can solve the efficiency and unified and standardized content of large-scale equipment operation and maintenance scenarios.
Q: How simple is WowKey?
Answer: It is so simple that you only need to know how to write TXT files and this file. You can use shell and shell commands. Just 1 WIS (WowKey Instruction Script) instruction script file, 1 APT (Accounts Password Table) account password table file, and 1 wowkey command. You can act as an operation and maintenance engineer through WowKey.
Simple and easy to use - Behind the roughness is WowKey's highly integrated support for technical details.
Q: How much learning cost is required to master WowKey?
Answer: From the simplicity and ease of use of WowKey, the learning cost is extremely low! It is a bit exaggerating to say that it is zero cost, but it is true that from the installation of the first one-click command to the subsequent use, you don’t need to consider and learn any additional program dependencies. You just need to be able to write text files, have a shell foundation, and have no other things and skills that need to be learned. The format requirements for WIS instruction script file data are very simple, just a fixed format data structure, without further additional learning of language, grammar and skills. Just write shell commands in the WIS file and configure the host group on which the commands are to be executed. WIS also has community support. The data format requirements of APT account password table files are also simple and a fixed format data structure, which is simpler than the WIS format.
The learning cost is 0 - Behind the roughness is WowKey's highly integrated support for technical details.
Q: Can I cover different genres of Linux operating system devices using WowKey? Such as the Fedora series (redHat, CentOS), the Ubuntu series based on Debian, the SUSE series, etc. . .
Answer: Yes, I dare not say 100%, but as long as the shell command in the WIS instruction script file you are using is a common shell command/shell script supported by different schools, you can fully understand a WIS instruction script file for a specific task, and fight all over the world. I have WowKey in my hands. Because WowKey's WIS is based on the execution of Shell commands. Linux shell commands and shell scripts are inherently universal.
