* Moved the --list-hosts option that is common to both `ansible` and `ansible-playbook` into utils/__init__.py (corrects a FIXME) * Wrote new help text for the --list-hosts option that makes sense for both of the commands that it applies to * Changed the usage argument in `ansible-playbook` so that it is setup in the base_parser method the same way that it is in the `ansible` executable * Updated the help text for several options to correct typos, clarify meaning, improve readability, or fix grammatical errors. In the case of `ansible-pull`, I changed the help text so that it adheres to the same standards as the other executables.
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.
