Noticed that the v1 variable precedence docs list facts discovered as having a lower precedence than inventory variables. It is in reality the other way around. The v2 section gets this right.
Closes#12990.
Alternative to #12992
This PR excludes all attributes of the following data types: lists,
tuples, dicts, sets, integers, floats, strings and Unicode objects.
It is expected that only the attributes of dicts and sets would cause an
problem like in #12990.
This work fulfills PR #11799. Moved the content out of the vault file,
into best practices, edited it, then referenced it from variables and
vaults content files.
ansible_ssh_* changes from 1.9 to 2.0, original note made into a separate file
for easier editing, and an include for this new file added to each of the 6 file affected
by this change
Ansible 2.0 has depricated the “ssh” from ansible_ssh_user,
ansible_ssh_host, and ansible_ssh_port to become ansible_user,
ansible_host, and ansible_port. If you are using a version of
Ansible prior to 2.0, you should continue using the older style
variables (ansible_ssh_*). These shorter variables are ignored,
without warning, in older versions of Ansible.
added a note like the following to each file hit with unlabled 2.0 changes...
Ansible 2.0 moved away from using ansible_ssh_* variables to accepting
ansible_* variables. If you are using a version of Ansible prior to 2.0,
you should continue using the older style variables (ansible_ssh_*), such
as ansible_ssh_user instead of ansible_user and ansible_ssh_port instead of
ansible_port, which appear in the following content. These shorter variables
are ignored, without warning, in older versions of Ansible.
made new sections for vars, started explaining scope, gave example on command line override of connection vars
added some formatting changes and clarifications
This filter was made because I needed to create idempotent UUIDs when
installing the agent for Go (http://go.cd), which uses UUIds to
distinguish the agents from each other.
It uses a newly created Ansible namespace to distinguish UUIDs created
by Ansible from any other source. The new namespace is a random one
created by uuidgen on OSX.
