Support for the Google API and GCloud-Python Clients have been added. The three libraries: * GCloud-Python: A new function, get_google_cloud_credentials, should be used. The credentials-object returned can be passed to any gcloud-python client. Using this client library requires in the installation of gcloud-python. This is preferred library for new modules. * Google API: A new function, gcp_api_auth, should be used to take advantage of services requiring this client. This client library should be used if the desired functionality is not available in GCloud-Python. Using this library requires the installation of google-api-python-client. * libcloud: Existing function, gcp_connect, should be used. The interface and return values have not changed and existing modules (such as gce, gce_pd and gce_net) should work without modification. Note that the credentials-fetching code has been refactored out of gcp_connect so that can be reused by all connection functions. To use this function, apache-libcloud must be installed. Import guards have been added and will only be trigger if a user tries to use a function that is missing dependencies. Credential-specifying mechanisms (i.e, ansible module params, env vars and libcloud secrets.py) have not changed. They have been refactored and unit tests have been added to allow for changes going forward. We are deprecating (and removing in a subsequent release) the ability to specify credentials via the libcloud secrets file. Also, we have deprecated (and also plan to remove in a subsequent release) the ability to use a p12 pem file for a key - the JSON format is strongly preferred. Deprecation warnings have been added for both of these issues (see the Ansible docs on how to disable deprecation warnings). |

Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.
Read the documentation and more at https://ansible.com/
Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.
You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms.
If you want to download a tarball of a release, go to releases.ansible.com, though most users use yum (using the EPEL instructions linked above), apt (using the PPA instructions linked above), or pip install ansible.
Design Principles
- Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
- Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
- Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon
- Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly
- Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
- Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software
- Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
- Be usable as non-root
- Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
Get Involved
- Read Community Information for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
- All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use
git rebasevsgit mergefor this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed. - Users list: ansible-project
- Development list: ansible-devel
- Announcement list: ansible-announce - read only
- irc.freenode.net: #ansible
Branch Info
- Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0 were named after Van Halen songs.)
- The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
- For releases 1.8 - 2.2, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow core and extras
- Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
- We'd love to have your contributions, read Community Information for notes on how to get started.
