NAME
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
ansible-pull - set up a remote copy of ansible on each managed node
|
||
|
|

|
|
||
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
ansible -d DEST -U URL [ -C CHECKOUT ]
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
*Ansible* is an extra-simple tool/framework/API for doing \'remote things' over
|
||
|
SSH.
|
||
|
|
||
|
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 *push* architecture of ansible into a
|
||
|
*pull* architecture, which has near-limitless scaling potential.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The setup playbook can be tuned to change the cron frequency, logging
|
||
|
locations, and parameters to ansible-pull.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is useful both for extreme scale-out as well as periodic
|
||
|
remediation. Usage of the 'fetch' module to retrieve logs from
|
||
|
ansible-pull runs would be an excellent way to gather and analyze
|
||
|
remote logs from ansible-pull.
