Ansible Modules
===============
Ansible modules are a way of adding new client-side logic to ansible. They can be written in any language.

Python modules using 0.6 and later can use the common "AnsibleModule" class to dramatically reduce
the amount of boilerplate code required. Not all modules above yet take advantage of this feature.
See the official documentation for more details.
Selected Playbooks
==================
2012-10-08 14:06:48 +02:00
[Playbooks ](http://ansible.cc/docs/playbooks.html ) are Ansible's configuration management language. It should
2012-10-08 13:48:07 +02:00
be easy to write your own from scratch for most applications, but it's always helpful to look at what others have
done for reference.

Callbacks and Plugins
=====================
The Ansible project has a whole repo devoted to extending ansible with new connection types, logging/event callbacks, and
inventory data storage. Talk to Cobbler and EC2, tweak the way things are logged, or even add sound effects.

Scripts And Misc

Ansible isn't just a program, it's also an API. Here's some examples of some clever integrations with the "Runner" and
also Playbook APIs, and integrations with other interesting pieces of software.
