Hello all, I have a rather complicated playbook which orchestrates the following plays: *(a)* input validation (extra-vars w/ asserts), *(b)* launching an EC2 instance, *(c)* configuring the instance, *(d)* fact gathering, *(e)* building and tagging an AMI from the instance, *(f)* using the AMI and the gathered facts to build Launch Configurations with user-data, *(g)* updating a couple of ASGs used for continuous integration (CI), and *(h)* terminating the instance launched at (b).
I am using Jenkins as the Ansible control host. The above playbook seems quite "heavy" and am wondering if there is a cleaner way to group the plays, into separate playbooks & Jenkins jobs. I'm most uncomfortable with *(g)* step being tied to the whole playbook, but I need to reference rather complicated Launch Configuration names (with Git SHA's in them) from the previous step *(f)*. Does Fact Caching works with Registered variables? I.e. if when I build the AMI and register the result in one Jenkins job, can I reference the registered variable in a later job? The facts would be for the Jenkins host (localhost). Thanks, Robb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
