TODO list and plans

Playbook TODO:

  • error codes and failure summaries
  • create modules that return 'changed' attributes
  • fail nodes on errors, i.e. remove from host list, rather than continuing to pound them
  • further improve output
  • more conditional capability
  • very good logging

General:

  • logging
  • async options
  • modules for users, groups, and files, using puppet style ensure mechanics
  • very simple option constructing/parsing for modules
  • templating module (how might this work syntax wise?) with facter/ohai awareness
    • probably could lay down a values.json file
    • use copy capabilities to move files to tmp, run python templating
    • maybe support templating engine of choice
  • think about how to build idempotency guards around command module?
  • think about how to feed extra JSON data onto system

Bonus utilities:

  • ansible-inventory - gathering fact/hw info, storing in git, adding RSS
  • ansible-slurp - recursively rsync file trees for each host
  • maybe it's own fact engine, not required, that also feeds from facter

Not so interested really, but maybe:

  • list available modules from command line
  • add/remove/list hosts from the command line
  • filter exclusion (run this only if fact is true/false) -- should be doable with playbooks (i.e. not neccessary)
