> Future Module Development
> -------------------------
>
> Due some other side projects of mine (writing books takes more time than
> one would might think), development of new modules is lagging a bit. One
> module (cs_serviceoffer) is currently WIP
> https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/19041.
>
> But no worries, new modules are planed:
> - cs_diskoffer
> - modules for VPN setup

> Cloud Role
> ----------
>
> At SWISS TXT, we created a Ansible role for setting up VMs in a
> cloudstack cloud with advanced networking for different customer
> projects, The role is open source (BSD) and can be found on GitHub
> https://github.com/swisstxt/ansible-role-cloud-infra
>
> Feel free to fork and improve it.

> Goal of my Ansible CloudStack Project
> -------------------------------------
>
> I often get ask, why I am doing it.
>
> My goal is to not only install and upgrade CloudStack by Ansible (that
> is relatively easy... and can even be done without that much cloudstack
> api interaction) but configure _and_ maintaining a cloud (basic or
> advanced networking) in a reliable way!
>
> It will install the OS and install cloudstack management server, install
> the OS on the hosts, setup hypversisors, create zones, pods, clusters,
> accounts, users, add configured hosts to cloudstack all this by a single
> run and the best of it, you can re-run it safely again and again,
> without fear breaking anything.
>
> Have to add a new host? No problem, put the hardware in the rack and
> connect it to the net, ansible will take care on the next run: it can be
> that simple.
>
> Also note, ansible can manage your network switches, routers and
> firewalls too!
> http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_network_modules.html
>
> The possibilities are endless...
