The idea behind transport=smart is to select between paramiko and
OpenSSH given the availability of connection multiplexing and/or OSX
kernel bugs. We need to make no such choice.
Since Python 2.4 fork is so defective, we must use subprocesses for
mitogen_task_isolation=fork. This has plenty of upside, since the long
term goal is to dump forking altogether. This allows a gentle
introduction of its replacement.
This refactors connection.py to pull the two huge dict-building
functions out into new transport_transport_config.PlayContextSpec and
MitogenViaSpec classes, leaving a lot more room to breath in both files
to figure out exactly how connection configuration should work.
The changes made in 1f21a30 / 3d58832 are updated or completely removed,
the original change was misguided, in a bid to fix connection delegation
taking variables from the wrong place when delegate_to was active.
The Python path no longer defaults to '/usr/bin/python', this does not
appear to be Ansible's normal behaviour. This has changed several times,
so it may have to change again, and it may cause breakage after release.
Connection delegation respects the c.DEFAULT_REMOTE_USER whereas the
previous version simply tried to fetch whatever was in the
'ansible_user' hostvar. Many more connection delegation variables closer
match vanilla's handling, but this still requires more work. Some of the
variables need access to the command line, and upstream are in the
process of changing all that stuff around.
(Pull #377)
Changes:
- additional_parameters -> extra_args
- Merge with kubectl changes from dmw branch
- Update docs
- Remove unused username class member
- Avoid mutable kubectl_args class member
- Use six.iteritems
This change allows the kubectl connector to support the same options as
Ansible's original connector.
The playbook sample comes with an example of a pod containing two containers
and checking that moving from one container to another, the version of Python
changes as expected.
Reverts 49736b3a, large file copies can't avoid the RTT.
The parent stack must be blocked while FileService progresses, as unlike
the small file path, it does not make a snapshot of the (possibly
temporary) file passed by the action plug-in. So we need to keep that
file alive while the service runs.
Add a new integration test and a new soak test to cover both.
Calls to connect.put_file() where the file is sufficiently small enough
to fit in a single RPC proceed without waiting for an RPC response. If
the write fails the target context will log an exception, and any
subsequent step depending on the written file will fail.
I verified every built-in action plugin for file transfer calls, and
they all depend on the transferred file in the following step, so this
should be safe.
Reduces template/copy actions to 2-RTT, loop-20-templates.yml runtime
reduced from 30 seconds to 10 seconds over a 250ms link compared to
v0.2.2, and from 123 seconds compared to vanilla with pipelining
enabled.
PlayContext.delegate_to is the unexpanded template, Ansible doesn't keep
a copy of it around anywhere convenient. We either need to re-expand it
or take the expanded version that was stored on the Task, which is what
is done here.
