This extends ansible-pull so that it can support using other source_control modules for checking out a playbook repository (issue #3372). This will check to see if the module exists before it attempts to do the checkout and will exit if the module is not found. It requires that the module used to check out the repository support the parameters 'name' and 'version'. The option -C, --checkout is now optional and defaults to the module's default behavior for selecting a branch, tag, or commit value. For git, this continues to be HEAD. Other changes include: * Remove git from help and use generic term(s) where needed. * Use SortedOptParser from ansible.utils * More abstraction of common options used between ansible and ansible-playbook.
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.
