ansible/TODO.md

TODO list and plans

Playbook TODO:

• error codes and failure summaries
• handle 'changed' attributes
• fail nodes on errors, i.e. remove from host list, rather than continuing to pound them
• further improve output
• more conditional capability (if statement) (?)
• very good logging

Command module:

• magic to pull async & timeout options off of the command line and not feed them to the app we're executing

General:

• better logging
• async options
• modules for users, groups, and files, using puppet style ensure mechanics
• think about how to build idempotency (aka Puppet-style 'creates') around command module?

Bonus utilities:

• ansible-inventory - gathering fact/hw info, storing in git, adding RSS
• ansible-slurp - recursively rsync file trees for each host
• maybe it's own fact engine, not required, that also feeds from facter

Not so interested really, but maybe:

• list available modules from command line
• add/remove/list hosts from the command line
• filter exclusion (run this only if fact is true/false) -- should be doable with playbooks (i.e. not neccessary)
