How to write plugin subcommand

Please refer to the instaruction - https://github.com/Appkube-awsx/awsx#how-to-write-a-plugin-subcommand

It has detailed instruction on how to write a subcommand plugin , build/test/debug/publish and integrate into the main commmand.

How to build / Test

        go run main.go
            - Program will print Calling aws-cloudelements on console

        Another way of testing is by running go install command
        go install
        - go install command creates an exe with the name of the module (e.g. awsx-rds) and save it in the GOPATH
        - Now we can execute this command on command prompt as below
       awsx-rds getConfigData --zone=us-east-1 --accessKey=xxxxxxxxxx --secretKey=xxxxxxxxxx --crossAccountRoleArn=xxxxxxxxxx  --externalId=xxxxxxxxxx

what it does

This subcommand implement the following functionalities - getConfigData - It will get the resource metadata for a given AWS account id and region.

command input

1. --valutURL = URL location of vault - that stores credentials to call API
2. --acountId = The AWS account id.
3. --zone = AWS region
4. --accessKey = Access key for the AWS account
5. --secretKey = Secret Key for the Aws Account
6. --crossAccountRoleArn = Cross Acount Rols Arn for the account.
7. --external Id = The AWS External id.
8. --dbInstanceIdentifier= Insert dbInstanceIdentifier in RDS from aws account.

command output

DBInstances: [{ ActivityStreamStatus: "stopped", AllocatedStorage: 20, AutoMinorVersionUpgrade: true, AvailabilityZone: "us-east-1a", BackupRetentionPeriod: 7, BackupTarget: "region", CACertificateIdentifier: "rds-ca-2019", CertificateDetails: { CAIdentifier: "rds-ca-2019", ValidTill: 2024-08-22 17:08:50 +0000 UTC }, DBInstanceArn: "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:657907747545:db:postgresql", DBInstanceClass: "db.t4g.medium", DBInstanceIdentifier: "postgresql", }]

How to run

From main awsx command , it is called as follows:

awsx-rds  --zone=us-east-1 --accessKey=<> --secretKey=<> --crossAccountRoleArn=<>  --externalId=<>

If you build it locally , you can simply run it as standalone command as:

go run main.go  --zone=us-east-1 --accessKey=<> --secretKey=<> --crossAccountRoleArn=<> --externalId=<>
