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. Get Involved ============ * [ansible-project mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project) * irc.freenode.net: #ansible Branch Info =========== * Releases are named after Van Halen songs. * The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development. * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases * We'd love to have your contributions, read "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.
