In a project for which I have created an ansible-based installer the productive system is big, i.e. about 100 hosts.
For organising my deployments I keep inventory files for all target systems and I make extensive use of groups. Now after a productive deployment (which I don't do personally) I got the feedback that tasks were executed on hosts on which they were not supposed to. Since I have no physical access to that environment while part of my deployment's logic is implemented in the inventory files, I would like to simulate a run against the productive inventory on my development host. I have found that the '--check' option does not help here since ansible will always try to see whether something has changed on the respective target hosts. So what I think I need would be an option to tell ansible "don't even bother to connect to hosts, consider everything changed". Is there a way to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
