Hello everyone,
I am using ansible for some time now, and I think the current default
Ansible inventory system is lacking a few features, at least when
working on an OpenStack cloud - whether it's for its deployment, its
support or its usage.
I'm thinking of developing a new inventory, based on (openstack-)ansible
experience.
Before we talk about making a new OpenStack Inventory for ansible, let's
work on fixing the existing one. We just replaced the nova.py dynamic
inventory plugin in the last year with the new openstack.py system.
Gathering requirements and then making improvements to the current one
is a GREAT idea. I'd love to hear the issues you're having with the
current one.
I started an etherpad [1], listing what I personnally expect from a
proper ansible inventory system for OpenStack. Therefore, if you worked
on ansible/inventory systems before, I'd be happy to have a return of
your experience. So if you think about features you like/dislike in the
way ansible fits your workflow for OpenStack, please write it down on
the etherpad! (or vote for the things you really like).
From reading through the contents of the etherpad, it looks like you
maybe haven't used openstack.py yet - or if you have the docs are not
good enough to show you that it does most of what you're wanting. I'd be
happy to connect on that. I've also added a few quick notes about things
that are already there that you might not have been aware of.
I think all the results from this etherpad could be either used for
ansible upstream or for the openstack-ansible project, so that's why I'm
spamming here. Thank for your help!
Best regards,
Jean-Philippe Evrard
