The Ansible Playbook Generator

[dmccuk]

The Ansible Playbook Generator (a little bit of fun!)

Talk Description

I use ansible a lot for work and fun and thought, wouldn't it be nice if I could tell ansible what I wanted to do, and it would just do it. So that's what the Ansible Playbook Generator does. You give it a list of what you want to create a playbook for, then you run the playbook generator and it creates all the playbooks you need. Currently, it supports packages, services, templates (including handlers) and sets up group_vars too. You can take the playbooks it generates, make changes and watch it update the server(s) with your new changes.

The code can be found here: https://github.com/dmccuk/AnsiblePlaybookGenerator

It works on most of the common OS's in use today.
