Since the YAML data format is a subset of JSON, it is trivial to convert
the former to the latter. This means that we can use YAML templates to
build cloudformation stacks, as long as we translate them before passing
them to the AWS API. I figure this could potentially be quite popular in
the Ansible world, since we already use so much YAML for our playbooks.
When a SVN repository has some svn:externals properties, files will be
reported with the X attribute, and lines will be added at the end to
list externals statuses with a text looking like
"Performing status on external item at ....".
Such lines were counted as a local modification by the regex, and the
module returned a change, even though they were none.
To have a clean (and parsable) "svn status" output, it is recommended
to use the --quiet option. The externals will only appear if they have
been modified. With this option on, it seems even safer to consider
there are local modifications when "svn status" outputs anything.
boto can throw SSLError when timeouts occur (among other SSL errors). Catch these so proper JSON can be returned, and also add the ability to retry the operation.
There's an open issue in boto for this: https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/2409
Here's a sample stacktrace that inspired me to work on this. I'm on 1.7, but there's no meaningful differences in the 1.8 release that would affect this. I've added line breaks to the trace for readability.

* If a db user belonged to a role which had a privilege, the user would
not have the privilege added as the role gave the appearance that the
user already had it. Fixed to always check the privileges specific to
the user.
* Make fewer db queries to determine if privileges need to be changed
and change them (was four for each privilege. Now two for each object
that has a set of privileges changed).
Use `has_table_privileges` and `has_database_privileges`
to test whether a user already has a privilege before
granting it, or whether a user doesn't have a privilege
before revoking it.
By default docker-py uses latest version of Docker API. This is not
always desireable, and this patch adds option to specify version, that
should be used.
This prevents errors when the login_user does not have 'ALL'
permissions, and the 'priv' value contains fewer permissions than are
held by an existing user. This is particularly an issue when using an
Amazon Web Services RDS instance, as there is no (accessible) user with
'ALL' permissions on *.*.
This module supports a few of the server actions that are easy to
initially impiment. Other actions require input and provide return
values in the API calls that will be more difficult to impliment, and
thus are not part of this initial commit.
This adds a must_exist option to the service module, which gives callers the
ability to be tolerant to services that do not exist. This allows for
opportunistic manipulation of a list of services if they happen to exist on the
host. While failed_when could be used, it's difficult to track all the
different error strings that might come from various service tools regarding a
missing service.
removing policy if enabled is no
adding sanity checks
removing debuging
check if policy exists before deleting
updating version_added to 2.0
adding stickiness support to ec2_elb_lb.py (squashed commit)
* Fix docs to specify when python2.6+ is required (due to a library
dep). This helps us know when it is okay to use python2.6+ syntax in
the file.
* remove BabyJson returns. See #1211 This commit fixes all but the
openstack modules.
* Use if __name__ == '__main__' to only run the main part of the module
if the module is run as a program. This allows for the potential to
unittest the code later.
Context: I recently discovered that when setting a fact, key=value pairs and complex arguments differ in how the fact is stored. For example, when attempting to use complex arguments using key=values, the result can be stored as a unicode string as opposed to an object/list/etc.
I'm hoping the above example update will better demonstrate to and instruct people to use complex arguments instead of key=value pairs in certain situations.
If an EC2 instance is already associated with an EIP address, we use
that, rather than allocating a new EIP address and associating it with
that.
Fixes#35.
Update/fix to Support specifying cidr_ip as a list
Unicode isn't compatible with python2, so we needed some other
solution to this problem. The simplest approach is if the ip item
isn't already a list, simply convert it to one, and we're done.
Thanks to @mspiegle for this suggestion.
Remove `USAGE` from the `VALID_PRIVS` dict for both database and
table because it is not a valid privilege for either (and
breaks the implementation of `has_table_privilege` and
`has_database_privilege`

For read-only databases, users should not change when no changes
are required.
Don't issue ALTER ROLE when role attribute flags, users password
or expiry time is not changing.
In certain cases (hashed passwords in the DB, but the password
argument is not hashed) passlib.hash is required to avoid
running ALTER ROLE.
The default value set by the module was a value of None for the
config_file parameter, which propogates into the connect method
call overriding the stated default in the method.
Instead, the default should be set with-in the parameter
specification so the file check is not requested to check None.
Do not attempt to attach an already attached volume.
Likewise, do not attempt to detach a volume that is not
attached.
This version adds support for check mode.
