About this blueprint
CLI Trigger Python
This flow shows how to manage Aiven resources from the CLI. It assumes that you have an Aiven account and that you created an API token. Make sure to replace the AVN_AUTH_TOKEN value in the task with your Aiven API token. It's recommended to use Secrets to store sensitive data such as API tokens.
Once you've configured the Aiven secret, you can reproduce this flow without any changes.
The first command is great to test the setup — the command will just list your Aiven projects. However, there is a lot more you can do with the Aiven CLI. Check out the Aiven CLI guide for more information.
For example, you can use it to start and stop specific services in your Aiven projects using scheduled flows in Kestra. This is useful if you want to save money by stopping your services when you don't need them, e.g. at night or during the weekend.
You can also use the CLI to create and delete services or databases on demand.
