Boto blindly assumes the us-east-1 region if you don't hardcode a region in it's config, so you could end up attempting to modify ELB's in one region from a totally different region. If a region isn't specified then default to the region that the module is being run within rather than the default us-east-1 region since it's a pretty safe assumption that you intend to work on the ELB's within your current region. Also throw an error if a specified ELB instance doesn't exist. The old behavior would be to silently succeed with changed=false, so if you had so much as a typo in the name of your ELB (or were in the wrong region like my initial testing) you wouldn't get a clear indication that a problem had occurred.
Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.
Read the documentation and more at http://ansibleworks.com/
Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions on http://ansibleworks.com/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansibleworks.com/releases/ and you can also install with pip (though that will bring in some optional binary dependencies you normally do not need).
Design Principles
- Dead simple setup
- Super fast & parallel by default
- No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
- No additional software required on client boxes
- Modules can be written in ANY language
- Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
- Be usable as non-root
- The easiest config management system to use, ever.
