Simple saltstack grain that returns the external IP of a server. We use this in our rackspace private cloud to easily list the external IP associated with a particular instance.
Raw
gistfile1.txt
import requests
def external_ip():
'''
Return the external IP address reported by ipecho.net
'''
try:
r = requests.get('http://ipecho.net/plain')
ip = r.content
except:
ip = ''
return {'external_ip': ip}

So every call to salt-call --local grains.items now makes a request to ipecho.net?
