Michael DeHaan 624a952c5c The service module made some assumptions about how a service should be managed based on what was installed on the system in terms of service
management tools, which meant upstart services on CentOS6 were not startable.  This tweak allows things like vmware-tools to be controlled
via the service module.  More testing on other distributions (particularly with systemd) is presumably needed.

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

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

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 on http://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansible.cc/releases/ and you can also install with pip (though that will bring in some optional binary dependencies you normally do not need).

Design Principles

  • Dead simple setup
  • Super fast & parallel by default
  • No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
  • No additional software required on client boxes
  • Modules can be written in ANY language
  • Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
  • Be usable as non-root
  • The easiest config management system to use, ever.

  • The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
