Ansible with CloudCenter

alexandra.davis

We are on vers. 4.8.1.2, using Chef for configuration management.  Can you tell me if CloudCenter is compatible with Ansible?  I did not see a service out there for it.  Is anyone using Ansible?

Thanks

Yes, Ansible is very often used within CloudCenter.  An example would be that a team has a working Ansible Playbook to install a software component but needs more features which CloudCenter can provide - cloud abstraction for the software service, governance, cost management, ITSM integration, leverage other existing services within CloudCenter (LBs, FWs, related services), etc.  This type of use means removing the prescriptive infrastructure configuration commands that CloudCenter will handle for all clouds and breaking the Ansible playbook down into more granular functions that correspond to the CloudCenter lifecycle actions and then using ansible pull commands as the command for the lifecycle action rather than a local CloudCenter command or repo script.

There are other ways to integrate easily with Ansible as well but this is one of the most commonly used ways by CloudCenter users.

Hi,

 

Is there any sample code to share? 

Do we put cloudcenter IP as target host and put "connection:local"?

 

Thanks!
