<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So my problem with this is the logging in to the compute nodes. While this may be fine for a smaller deployment. Logging into thousands, even hundreds, of nodes via ansible to gather facts, just to do a
deployment against 2 or 3 of them is not tenable. Additionally, in our higher audited environments (pki/pci) will cause our auditors heartburn.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
