Re: [ansible-project] Re: How do you ensure security when using ansible-pull?

Hmm So, use rsync to push the scripts to each server, making sure to only send the data relevant to each specific server. Right? Um, isn't that basically what Ansible does by default? It pulls together the relevant information for each server, then transfers the scripts to that server, and

Re: [ansible-project] skip-tags doesn't work for handlers

I tried with a when statement on the handler definition (with a variable defined by me) but id didn't seem to work either, the handler is executed anyway, and the AMI creation fails for that. El sábado, 6 de junio de 2015, 12:14:50 (UTC+2), Dan C escribió: I would like the same feature. I

Re: [ansible-project] Are group_vars re-evaluated for freshly provisioned EC2 instances with tags matching group names?

[ansible-project] Hosts = all, One simple Task - but for multi platform (Windows WinRM + SSH)

Hi Group, Wonder if someone have a feedback on the following issue: I'm creating two machine in EC2 - One is Windows and the other is Linux. Once VMs are up and running I run a test on Windows which take like 1 hour, and if run successfully I move on to Linux and run anther test. Total time of

Re: [ansible-project] generic 'package' module?

Got it, this makes perfect sense. Always nice to have the background on inconsistencies like this (for me a least it removed a mental block). With this background coupled with the notion of using 'action', perhaps 'service' could be deprecated and eventually removed in favor of different

Re: [ansible-project] generic 'package' module?

Yes, it is a contradiction, sadly it is very hard to remove 'service' now, it is a huge pathway of detection and fallbacks and I would be very happy to create a systemd, upstart, initd and other modules to substitute it. You just have to look at the tickets to see that every time we do a minor

Once you have this kind of restrictive environment, you might want to look into Tower, it will pull/push provision servers on request and keeps things pretty tight and secure. It also has audit trails and reports which tend to be needed when security is at this level. -- Brian Coca -- You
