[ansible-project] Using binary data in Ansible Vaults.

I've been using a pattern of base64 encoded values and jinja templates deal with storing binary data in vaults and have put together scripts to simplify the process; I've found them pretty useful and figured others might get some use out of them. https://github.com/sgargan/ansible-vault-tools

[ansible-project] Re: Storing private ssh keys in variables

I do something similar to this to store sensitive files in vault. I base64 encode the data and set the variable with the resulting encoded string. Then in my template I use the b64decode filter when applying the variable. in your vault file private_key: LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBQUklWQVRFIEtFWS0tLS0tCk1J

[ansible-project] Deprecating pararmeters

Hi, I've been making changes to the ec2_elb_lb module to allow security group names as well as security group ids. While doing this I had added a new module parameter 'security_groups' with the intention of marking the id specific one as deprecated. I was wondering how this kind of deprecation
