Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy. Avoid writing scripts or custom code to deploy and update your applications — automate in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/

willthames 377bc31311 Prevent premature substitution of variables into tasks
As documented in #2623, early variable substitution causes when_
tests to fail and possibly other side effects.

I can see the reason for this early substitution, likely introduced
in 1dfe60a6, to allow many playbook parameters to be templated.
This is a valid goal, but the recursive nature of the utils.template
function means that it goes too far.

At this point removing tasks from the list of parameters to be
substituted seems sufficient to make my tests pass. It may be the
case that other parameters should be excluded, but I suspect not.

Adding a test case. I would prefer to analyse not just the aggregate
statistics but also whether the results are as expected - I can't
see an easy way to do that with the available callbacks at present.

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

Read the documentation and more at http://ansible.cc

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://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansible.cc/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.

Branch Info

  • Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
  • The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
  • Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
  • We'd love to have your contributions, read "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.
