.sp
|

|
|
\fBAnsible\fR is an extra\-simple tool/framework/API for doing \*(Aqremote things\*(Aq over SSH\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Use ansible\-pull to set up a remote copy of ansible on each managed node, each set to run via cron and update playbook source via git\&. This inverts the default \fBpush\fR architecture of ansible into a \fBpull\fR architecture, which has near\-limitless scaling potential\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The setup playbook can be tuned to change the cron frequency, logging locations, and parameters to ansible\-pull\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
This is useful both for extreme scale\-out as well as periodic remediation\&. Usage of the \fIfetch\fR module to retrieve logs from ansible\-pull runs would be an excellent way to gather and analyze remote logs from ansible\-pull\&.
