Re: ansible

Quoting Brian May (brian@microcomaustralia.com.au):

The talk on Ansible yesterday made it look like the rules are Debian specific.

If you have a mix of Redhat / Debian systems, is it possible to use Ansible? Is it possible to do this without duplicating rules for Debian systems and for Redhat systems?

Very definitely. I missed the LUV talk on account of adverse geography ( ;-> ), but please be aware that the Fedora Project uses Ansible configuration management centrally, so it's definitely possible to use it for Red Hat systems, and all you need do is ensure that the rules cover both cases (RH, Debian). E.g., have something like this: http://dannyman.toldme.com/2014/10/07/ansible-set-conditional-handler/
