OpenOps integrates with Vantage to automate workflows based on the cost data, recommendations, and alerts available through the Vantage API.

​
Actions

OpenOps provides one action for interacting with Vantage: The Vantage action is based on the Vantage API and requires configuring a Vantage connection with a Vantage API key. The following section describes the action available in the Vantage block.

​
Custom API Call

Allows making arbitrary calls to any Vantage API endpoint:
  • URL: Dynamic endpoint selection
  • Method: GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, or HEAD
  • Headers: Optional (authorization auto-injected)
  • Query Parameters: Optional
  • Body: Optional JSON payload

​
Designing a workflow

A typical Vantage workflow starts by retrieving recommendations or cost alerts from the Vantage API using the Custom API Call action, then asks the owner of the affected resource for a decision in Slack or Microsoft Teams: approve, snooze, archive, or open a ticket. Based on the decision, the workflow remediates the resource using the actions available for the cloud platforms OpenOps supports, creates a ticket, or calls another endpoint from the Vantage API reference to record the decision. For environments such as development accounts, the approval step can be skipped so that remediation runs automatically.
