ansible -r playbook.yml
API
===
The Python API is pretty powerful.
import ansible.runner
runner = ansible.runner.Runner(
module_name='ping',
module_args='',
pattern='web*',
forks=10
)
datastructure = runner.run()
And returns results per host, for hosts we could contact
and also ones that we failed to contact.
{
"dark" : {
"web1.example.com" : "failure message"
}
"contacted" : {
"web2.example.com" : 1
}
}
A module can return any type of JSON data it wants, so Ansible can
be used as a framework to build arbitrary applications and very powerful
scripts.
