ansible_ssh_* changes from 1.9 to 2.0, original note made into a separate file
for easier editing, and an include for this new file added to each of the 6 file affected
by this change
Ansible 2.0 has depricated the “ssh” from ansible_ssh_user,
ansible_ssh_host, and ansible_ssh_port to become ansible_user,
ansible_host, and ansible_port. If you are using a version of
Ansible prior to 2.0, you should continue using the older style
variables (ansible_ssh_*). These shorter variables are ignored,
without warning, in older versions of Ansible.
added a note like the following to each file hit with unlabled 2.0 changes...
Ansible 2.0 moved away from using ansible_ssh_* variables to accepting
ansible_* variables. If you are using a version of Ansible prior to 2.0,
you should continue using the older style variables (ansible_ssh_*), such
as ansible_ssh_user instead of ansible_user and ansible_ssh_port instead of
ansible_port, which appear in the following content. These shorter variables
are ignored, without warning, in older versions of Ansible.
made new sections for vars, started explaining scope, gave example on command line override of connection vars
added some formatting changes and clarifications
This filter was made because I needed to create idempotent UUIDs when
installing the agent for Go (http://go.cd), which uses UUIds to
distinguish the agents from each other.
It uses a newly created Ansible namespace to distinguish UUIDs created
by Ansible from any other source. The new namespace is a random one
created by uuidgen on OSX.
Users will often be puzzled why 'regex_replace' is not working as intended when used inside
YAML arguments. This note explains what they have to do to get it working.
very small and minor addition, but I couldn't find anywhere that answered this (now obvious) question I had of whether or not facts could also be yaml files.
