Josh Preston 2a2d866c0d add cloudforms inventory script (#17037)
* add cloudforms inventory script

based on the foreman inventory script, features:

* cached results (default 600 seconds)
* paginated host results (default 100 hosts)
* ssl verification (default True)
* arguments to flush cache and run in debug mode

* suggested rework

* removed second cache / dict with duplicate info
* added purge_actions configuration option to remove the actions from a host (defaults to False)
* added prefer_ip_address configuration option so give the option of using ip address instead of name (defaults to True)
* removed self variables — just use the arguments directly
* added --pretty command line option to pretty print results
* renamed _resolve_params to _resolve_host

* implement suggestions

* removed not used import
* added warnings to help debug connection issues
* renamed self.cache to self.hosts for clarity
* now will use the first ip address as ansible_ssh_host
* flipped default for prefer_ip_address config option to false - preserve name, and specify ansible_ssh_host as ip address
* added checks and warnings to configuration options, sane defaults for all except required:
** `url` - the first part of the cloudforms server url (https://cfme.example.com)
** `username`  - the cloudforms username to log in with
** `password` - the password for the cloudforms user specified
* removed redundant call to fetch host information (since we’re paging results, no need to split the calls)
* added warning for unexpected responses from CloudForms
* debug for returned sting now prints the string instead of forcing to JSON
* removed no longer needed methods to fetch host information
* using ‘key in list’ instead of ‘list.has_key(key)’
* correctly formatted groups and allowed nested groups
* now create groups for `location`, `type` and `vendor`, with appropriate sub-groups and children
* made to_safe honor config option to clean group names for ansible consumption

* remove prefer_ip_address configuration option

no longer needed since we will specify `ansible_ssh_host` as the returned ip address.

* removed dns_name

no longer needed, will preserve `host[name]` as name in Ansible.

* purge actions from hostvars

changed purge_actions to True

* flake8 suggestion for whitespace

* fix undefined r variable in warning output

use the correct ret variable

* Default purge_actions to True

We probably don’t need them, but it is configurable, so just default to remove them.

* Add configuration option to nest cloudforms tags

disabled by default, the nest_tags option will expand cloudforms tags into a nested group/subgroup structure.  Otherwise, it will use the whole tag name.

* added purging the actions

removed in previous clean up in error.

* fixed undefined variable

specified the correct variable for logging.

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.

Read the documentation and more at http://ansible.com/

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.

You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms. If you decide to go with the development branch, be sure to run git submodule update --init --recursive after doing a checkout.

If you want to download a tarball of a release, go to releases.ansible.com, though most users use yum (using the EPEL instructions linked above), apt (using the PPA instructions linked above), or pip install ansible.

Design Principles

  • Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
  • Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
  • Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon
  • Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly
  • Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
  • Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software
  • Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
  • Be usable as non-root
  • Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.

Get Involved

  • Read Community Information for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
  • All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use git rebase vs git merge for this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.

  • Development list: ansible-devel
  • Announcement list: ansible-announce - read only

Branch Info

  • Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0 were named after Van Halen songs.)
  • The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
  • As of 1.8, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow core and extras
  • Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
  • We'd love to have your contributions, read Community Information for notes on how to get started.
