So instead of having:
group_vars/production.yml
A user could chose to reorganize to:
group_vars/production/staff.yml
group_vars/production/networks.yml
group_vars/production/dns.yml
(Backwards compatible.)
- Move all the supported YAML file extensions into a constant
- Use helper functions to avoid duplicate code for group/host vars
- Catch and disallow some confusing situations, such as the presence of
multiple group/host vars files for the same group/host, but with
different extensions. For example having both group_vars/all.yml and
group_vars/all.yaml.
- Catch and report file system permission issues, symlink errors,
unexpected file system objects
- Trivial performance improvement from making fewer stat system calls
- Restructuring that makes it easy for a following patch to support
directory recursion
For link-local addresses, it is sometimes necessary to append the
interface to use for the ipv6 address. This patch extends the ipv6
regex to allow for '%ifnameX' at the end.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=136852 for more info
testing with a ipv6 :
ansible -u misc -i '[2002::c23e]:22,' '*' -m ping
fail due to parsing of ':' as a separator of port/ip with ipv4.
This commit add support for properly parsing 2002::c23 and the
bracket notation [2002::ce]:2222
to ensure consistent behavior, hosts should look like this:
hosts: webservers:&boston:!rack42
So when applying the host selectors, run those without the "&" first,
then the &s, then the !s.
Closes#3500
and the _meta hash contains a "hostvars", don't call --host hostname for any elements
and just serve them directly for performance enhancements with the external inventory
script and a large number of hosts.
Since ansible 1.2, it became possible to place a host_vars
directory in the same directory as a playbook, making it possible
to keep host_vars local to that playbook there. However, due to
python's os.path.dirname, a action such as:
$ ansible-playbook pb.yml
..would not pick up the host_vars as os.path.dirname("pb.yml")
returns "", unlike the unix command dirname that would return
".". Substituting "pb.yml" on the command line with "./pb.yml"
would do the trick, but is not always intuitive. This patch
solves the problem until python solves issue18547 [1].

A host pattern of the form '!foo' by itself does not work, but
'all:!foo' does. If the first pattern is a negation, this commit
automatically prepends 'all'.

e.g. db[01:10:3]node-[01:10]
- to do this we split off at the first [...] set, getting the list
of hosts and then repeat until none left.
- also add an optional third parameter which contains the step. (Default: 1)
so range can be [01:10:2] -> 01 03 05 07 09
If someone has a " #" in a quoted var string, it
will interpret that as a comment and refuse to
load the inventory file due to an unbalanced
quote. Noisy failure > unexpected behavior.
Look for a file with the base name of the group/host, first without
a file extension, then with a '.yml' extension, and, finally, with
a '.yaml' extension, loading vars from only the first one found.
Hash variables are currently overriden if they are redefined. This
doesn't let the user refine hash entries or overriding selected keys,
which can, for some, be a desirable feature.
This patch let the user force hash merging by setting the
hash_behaviour value to "merge" (without the quotes) in ansible.cfg
However, by default, ansible behaves like it always did and if any value
besides "merge" is used ("replace" is suggested in the example ansible.cfg
file), it will also behave as always.
This allows patterns such as webservers:!debian:&datacenter1 to target
hosts in the webservers group, that are not in the debian group, but are
in the datacenter1 group. It also parses patterns left to right.

Enhance _match function in inventory with regex.
--limit ~regex could be used to filter hosts or group with a regex.
Tested on cli and ansible-playbook.

Add an inventory plugin to fetch groups and host from our CMDB.

Added possibility to filter hosts from a group, with a regex, separating
groupname and regex with a ~
Usage in group pattern: group~filterpattern
Samples:
ansible group~server-0[1236] -m ping
ansible web~proxy -m ping
ansible web~(proxy|frontend) -m ping
Otherwise, a host in two groups, A and B, using a variable defined
in group A and all will get the value of all, as B's variables will
include the all variable.
Partially fixes#1647.
