2012-03-31 16:38:24 +02:00
< p > Ansible ships with a number of modules (called the ‘ module library’ )
that can be executed directly on remote hosts or through < a class = "reference internal" href = "playbooks.html" > < em > Playbooks< / em > < / a > .
Users can also write their own modules. These modules can control system
resources, like services, packages, or files (anything really), or
handle executing system commands.< / p >
< p > Let’ s review how we execute three different modules from the command line:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-python" > < pre > ansible webservers -m service -a "name=httpd state=running"
ansible webservers -m ping
ansible webservers -m command -a "/sbin/reboot -t now"< / pre >
< / div >
< p > Each module supports taking arguments. Nearly all modules take < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > key=value< / span > < / tt >
2012-07-28 02:35:45 +02:00
arguments, space delimited. Some modules take no arguments, and the
command/shell modules simply take the string of the command you want to run.< / p >
2012-03-31 16:38:24 +02:00
< p > From playbooks, Ansible modules are executed in a very similar way:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-python" > < pre > - name: reboot the servers
action: command /sbin/reboot -t now< / pre >
< / div >
< p > All modules technically return JSON format data, though if you are using the
2012-03-10 00:29:01 +01:00
command line or playbooks, you don’ t really need to know much about
2012-03-31 16:38:24 +02:00
that. If you’ re writing your own module, you care, and this means you do
2012-05-02 06:55:54 +02:00
not have to write modules in any particular language – you get to choose.< / p >
2012-08-01 05:19:41 +02:00
< p > Modules are < cite > idempotent< / cite > , meaning they will seek to avoid changes to the system unless a change needs to be made. When using Ansible
playbooks, these modules can trigger ‘ change events’ in the form of notifying ‘ handlers’
to run additional tasks.< / p >
2012-03-31 16:38:24 +02:00
< p > Let’ s see what’ s available in the Ansible module library, out of the box:< / p >

< p > Assembles a configuration file from fragments. Often a particular
program will take a single configuration file and does not support a
conf.d style structure where it is easy to build up the configuration
from multiple sources. Assmeble will take a directory of files that
have already been transferred to the system, and concatenate them
together to produce a destination file. Files are assembled in string
sorting order. Puppet calls this idea “ fragments” .< / p >

2012-05-10 07:41:31 +02:00
< p > This is useful and should only be done in two cases. The first case is installing
python-simplejson on older (python 2.4 and before) hosts that need it as a dependency
to run modules, since nearly all core modules require it. Another is speaking to any
devices such as routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case,
using the ‘ shell’ or ‘ command’ module is much more appropriate.< / p >
< p > Arguments given to ‘ raw’ are run directly through the configured remote shell and
only output is returned. There is no error detection or change handler support
for this module.< / p >
