* Fix ansible-test venv activation. When using the ansible-test --venv option, an execv wrapper for each python interpreter is now used instead of a symbolic link. * Fix ansible-test execv wrapper generation. Use the currently running Python interpreter for the shebang in the execv wrapper instead of the selected interpreter. This allows the wrapper to work when the selected interpreter is a script instead of a binary. * Fix ansible-test sanity requirements install. When running sanity tests on multiple Python versions, install requirements for all versions used instead of only the default version. * Fix ansible-test --venv when installed. When running ansible-test from an install, the --venv delegation option needs to make sure the ansible-test code is available in the created virtual environment. Exposing system site packages does not work because the virtual environment may be for a different Python version than the one on which ansible-test is installed. |

Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. More information on the Ansible website.
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.
Use Ansible
You can install a released version of Ansible via pip
, a
package manager, or our release repository. See
our installation
guide for details on installing Ansible on a variety of
platforms.
Red Hat offers supported builds of Ansible Engine.
Power users and developers can run the devel
branch,
which has the latest features and fixes, directly. Although it is
reasonably stable, you are more likely to encounter breaking changes
when running the devel
branch. We recommend getting
involved in the Ansible community if you want to run the
devel
branch.
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.
- Join a Working Group, an organized community devoted to a specific technology domain or platform.
- Submit a proposed code update through a pull request to the
devel
branch. - Talk to us before making larger changes to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what is going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
- For a list of email lists, IRC channels and Working Groups, see the Communication page
Branch Info
- The
devel
branch corresponds to the release actively under development. - The
stable-2.X
branches correspond to stable releases. - Create a branch based on
devel
and set up a dev environment if you want to open a PR. - See the Ansible release and maintenance page for information about active branches.
Roadmap
Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.7, 2.8). The Ansible Roadmap page details what is planned and how to influence the roadmap.
Authors
Ansible was created by Michael DeHaan and has contributions from over 4600 users (and growing). Thanks everyone!
