Support Custom Wake Word

[osterman]

what

• Add wake-word command line argument (E.g. echo vs alexa)

why

• Allows an atlantis instance to be directly addressable
• Different wake commands (e.g. 'atlantis/staging' or 'atlantis/prod') can be used to address different atlantis instances when more than one server operates on the same repo.
• Default should be atlantis

reference

• Add wake-word command line argument cloudposse-archives/atlantis-experiments#13
• Fix wake-word comments and replies cloudposse-archives/atlantis-experiments#14

Could you add more information about this feature? What does it solve? And why do you want this to be part of Atlantis?

[osterman]

use-case

1. We disable autoplan on the production atlantis watching repo xyz
2. We run autoplan against xyz on the atlantis instance running in our testing account.
3. We need to tell the production atlantis to run plan when we want. The current incarnation does not let us address an altantis instance by name. This is why we added the patches listed in the ## references section.

I'm still working on the RFC but I'm thinking about being able to run each atlantis server instance with an optional --name staging flag and then using the atlantis.yaml to be able to tell Atlantis which server instance a particular project should be handled by. Glad to hear you're thinking along the same lines.

Once the RFC is up we can discuss further.

That sounds good to me!

[lostick]

that would be a great feature
