My son would like you all to know that watching @ansible playbooks run with cowsay is amazing and awesome, and is akin to cows simon says with servers.

He also told me, repeatedly, to tell you all this.

Just found https://t.co/Pc5dIvEP0I that can be handy for people using ansible-vault and willing to use git-diff etc (so basically a diff/merge filter)

I hope AIOps solves Kubernetes, dependency management , caching and dns . EOM

Put this in your ansible wrapper:

echo -n "$@" | grep -q -- "-v" && export ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=yaml

You're welcome.

Is the #Ansible I knew and loved fading slowly into the void?

I had high hopes and optimism after the big collections push last year, but business interests are slowly kneecapping the OSS/community side, partly intentionally, and partly through disinterest.

Devops is continuously shortening the feedback loop.

Is there more to say that can't be derived from that?

Ever wanted to write a new @ansible module for @ForemanProject but didn't know where to start? There is an article describing exactly this now!

A boiler plate example to an @ansible inventory plugin, including how to use Ansible's caching facilities.

It shows the use case of retrieving data from a remote API, which might be a
slow or costly action, you may want to cache.

95% of the so called "problems" in YAML exist because you assume strings are just strings, and you don't quote them.

Always quote values, unless you know how they will be parsed.

Fun fact: The #ansible yum module works under #debian, but not vice-versa

Did you know? @ansible did NOT deprecate with_* loops (e.g. with_items?) . https://t.co/oEqjsA6fh5

>We have not deprecated the use of with_<lookup> - that syntax will still be valid for the foreseeable future.
