README.md

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, application deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration engine.

Read the documentation and more at http://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 a tarball of the last release, go to releases.ansible.com and you can also install with pip.

Design Principles

Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
Be super fast & parallel by default
Require no server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
Use a language that is both machine and human friendly
Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
Manage remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping
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 Contributing.md 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 rebase" vs "git merge" for 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.
