Ansible
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and
|
|
|
|
|
multinode orchestration framework.

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 on http://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to
|
|
|
|
|
http://ansible.cc/releases/ and you can also install with pip (though that will bring in some optional binary dependencies you normally do not need).

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](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project), rss: [here](https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project/feed/rss_v2_0_msgs.xml?num=50&pli=1)

Branch Info
|
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
|
|
|
|
|
* The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
|
|
|
|
|
* Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
|
|
|
|
|
* We'd love to have your contributions, read "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.
