dbrain / ansible

Model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment/orchestration, and remote task execution system. Uses SSH by default, so there is no special software has to be installed on the nodes you manage. Ansible can be extended in any language. Note: The default branch is the development branch which many people run directly from checkout, if you need a stable version, see the release-XX branches, tags, or ansible.cc/releases.

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

Read the documentation and more at http://ansible.cc

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions on http://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansible.cc/releases/ and you can also install with pip (though that will bring in some optional binary dependencies you normally do not need).

Design Principles

• Dead simple setup
• Super fast & parallel by default
• No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
• No additional software required on client boxes
• Modules can be written in ANY language
• Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
• Be usable as non-root
• The easiest config management system to use, ever.
