Platform Module

##Platform Module

###Overview The platform module exposes facts about the underlying operating system (OS version, type, build information) to other nodes in the graph.

###Usage Platform data is available as a variable to functions and templates:

{{ platform.OS }}
{{ platform.Version }}
{{ platform.Name }} 

###Available data

• platform.Name: Operating System Name: { Alpine Linux v3.4, Mac OS X, CentOS Linux 7 (Core) }
• platform.OS: sourced from golang runtime.GOOS. { linux, darwin, windows...}
• platform.Version: OS Version
• platform.Build: build ID if available
• platform.LinuxDistribution: Linux distribution { alpine, centos, coreos, debian, ubuntu, ... }
• platform.Like: similar Linux platforms (for example centos is like rhel, fedora)

###Examples:

App file:

param "filename" {
    default = "platform.txt"
}

file.content "platformData" {
  destination = "{{ platform.OS }}-{{ param `filename` }}"
  content     = "Detected {{ platform.Name }} ({{ platform.OS }}) {{ platform.Version}} {{ platform.LinuxDistribution}}"
}

output:

Detected Mac OS X (darwin) 10.11.6
