VMs in VPC and not in VPC can have an identical name. As a result VMs in a VPC must be sorted out if no VPC is given.
Due the API limitation, the only way is to check if the network of the VM is in a VPC.
* Change old recommendation about insecure variables
These warnings were relevant before ansible had the secure vault feature:
any secret put into a variable used to be a bad idea.
With the vault feature (available since ansible 1.5) it's no longer a bad
idea to use these variables, as long as they aren't stored in plain text.
* Update intro_inventory.rst
Minor edit
With 2.0, we decided to create a special list of param names which were
taken out of the role data structure and stored as params instead (connection,
port, and remote_user). This causes problems with inheritance of these params,
so we are now deprecating that while also keeping those keys in the ds so they
are brought in as attributes on the Role correctly.
Fixes#17395
* Moved the _inventory.clear_group_dict_cache() from creating a group which doesn't exist, to adding members to the group.
* Update __init__.py
Update to use changed: block to catch all changes for cache clear as suggested
Fixes#18544.
When a loop is over an empty list, the result is set to
{'skipped_reason': u'No items in the list', 'skipped': True, 'changed': False}
which means that accessing `hr._result['results']` throws a `KeyError`.
- Better switch between *dense* and *default*
- Reimplement C.COLOR* out of necessity (help!)
- Make verbose output more dense (clean up result)
- Implement our own dumper
- Improve delegation support
The goal for the "dense" output is to only show changes and failures on-screen (the Unix-way).
However, since we still want to have a sense of progress, we use terminal capabilities to display progress.
- On screen there should only be relevant stuff
- How far are we ? (during run, last line)
- What issues occured
- What changes occured
- Diff output
- If verbosity increases, act as default output
So that users can easily switch to default for troubleshooting
- Leave previous task output on screen
- If we would clear the line at the start of a task, there would often
be no information at all
- We use the cursor to indicate where in the task we are.
Output after the prompt is the output of the previous task
- Use the same color-conventions of Ansible
This is still a work in progress.
It was released to give a glimpse of what would be possible.
The Ansible callback mechanism currently does not have all the functionality we need to do this efficiently.
* Replace pipes.quote for shlex_quote
* More migration of pipes.quote to shlex_quote
Note that we cannot yet move module code over. Modules have six-1.4
bundled which does not have shlex_quote. This shouldn't be a problem as
the function is still importable from pipes.quote. It's just that this
has become an implementation detail that makes us want to import from
shlex instead.
Once we get rid of the python2.4 dependency we can update to a newer
version of bundled six module-side and then we're free to use
shlex_quote everywhere.
