Ansible Modules
Ansible modules are a way of adding new client-side logic to ansible. They can be written in any language.
- Official "core" ansible modules - various
- mercurial - bradobro
- zypper (bash module example) - jp_mens
- homebrew - swehack
- network_facts - dagwieers
- vsphere_boot - dagwieers
Python modules using 0.6 and later can use the common "AnsibleModule" class to dramatically reduce the amount of boilerplate code required. Not all modules above yet take advantage of this feature. See the official documentation for more details.
Selected Playbooks
Playbooks are Ansible's configuration management language. It should be easy to write your own from scratch for most applications, but it's always helpful to look at what others have done for reference.
- Hadoop - jkleint
- LAMP - Four Kitchens
- Ganglia (demo) - mpdehaan
- Nginx - cocoy
- OpenStack - lorin
- Systems Configuration - cegeddin
- Fedora Infrastructure - Fedora
Callbacks and Plugins
The Ansible project has a whole repo devoted to extending ansible with new connection types, logging/event callbacks, and inventory data storage. Talk to Cobbler and EC2, tweak the way things are logged, or even add sound effects.
Scripts And Misc
Ansible isn't just a program, it's also an API. Here's some examples of some clever integrations with the "Runner" and also Playbook APIs, and integrations with other interesting pieces of software.
