Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.
Read the documentation at http://ansible.github.com
Design Principles
- Dead simple setup
 - Super fast & parallel by default
 - No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
 - No additional software required on client boxes
 - Modules can be written in ANY language
 - Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
 - Be usable as non-root
 - The easiest config management system to use, ever.
 
Get Involved
- ansible-project mailing list
 - irc.freenode.net: #ansible
 
Branch Info
- Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
 - The devel branch corresponds to release 0.7, "Panama".
 - Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
 - All feature work happens on the development branch.
 - Major bug fixes will be made to the last release branch only
 - See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.
 
Patch Instructions
Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
- Required Process:
- Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
 - Fixes for bugs may also be submitted to "ansible/release-X.Y" for the last release
 - Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
 
 - Bonus points:
- Joining the mailing list
 - Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
 - Using squash merges
 - Updating the "rst/*" files in the docs project and "docs/" manpage content
 - Adding more unit tests
 
 - Avoid:
- Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
 - Sending feature pull requests to the 'release' branch instead of the devel branch
 - Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
